2024 MARSHALL HIGH SENIOR COLLEGE AWARDS
Tom LaBonge Scholarship $2,500
Established in 2021 in honor of John Marshall High School graduate and football player Tom LaBonge. LaBonge spent nearly four decades in public service including serving as our CD4 councilmember from 2001 to 2015. He was an advocate for Griffith Park, a beloved neighborhood friend and a dedicated Marshall Barrister. This award is for college-bound seniors with financial need who demonstrate a strong commitment to leadership, community service and academic achievement.
Lynne T. Jewell Scholarship $2,500
Established in 2024 in honor of longtime community leader, Lynne T. Jewell. Lynne spent almost 40 years in Los Feliz, working on history, education and preservation projects. She was an LFIA board member for over 23 years, most recently serving as Vice President. A trained journalist, Lynne had a keen interest in Marshall High, and spearheaded our initial scholarship programs there. Lynne also co-chaired the LFIA history committee and the extensive LFIA archives at Cal State Northridge are largely her work. Her contributions to LFIA and the Los Feliz community are too numerous to name. This award is for college-bound seniors with financial need and a commitment to majoring in subjects that fall under the humanities.
