ANDOVER, Vt. – The Andover Scholarship Committee is pleased to award scholarships to three graduating high school seniors in 2026. Each of these impressive students has demonstrated both a love of and service to the Andover community in addition to being on track to graduate from Green Mountain Union High School in June.
Ian Bernier grew up in Andover with a love of the outdoors and wildlife. He will attend the University of Vermont’s wildlife and fisheries program in the fall, with the goal of a career as a game warden.
Adelaide Brown plans to combine her interests in skin health and makeup artistry by becoming an esthetician. To pursue that goal, she will attend the Institute of Skin Science in Stratham, N.H.
Violet Haight grew up in Andover and comes from a family with a long history in the town. In addition to Green Mountain, she also attended the River Valley Technical Center in Springfield. She will continue her education at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., with the goal of becoming a mechanical engineer.
The Andover Scholarship Committee has been offering scholarships since the mid-1990s to outstanding Andover high school seniors who are continuing their education in colleges, universities, and trade schools. The committee raises money for scholarships primarily through a fundraising letter. To date, this community support has helped 74 of our young high school graduates take the next step in their education.
The Andover Scholarship Fund is funded entirely by local contributions. It is a recognized public charity under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. If you wish to donate to the scholarship fund, please send your contribution to the Andover Scholarship Committee, 953 Weston-Andover Road, Andover, VT 05143 or visit www.givebutter.com/AndoverScholarship26.
The scholarship committee, whose members are Charlene Huyler, Maddy Bodin, and Carmen Macchia, wishes the three scholarship recipients, and all of Andover’s high school graduates, success.
