The perpetuation of the Permanent Scholarship Fund is due in part to the ongoing generosity of Lincoln residents’ response to the Lincoln Scholarship Committee’s annual appeal each spring. The Ogden Codman Trust, which became operational in 1972, is a perpetual charitable foundation established by the Codman family, long-time residents of Lincoln. Its purpose is to benefit the town of Lincoln and its residents in a variety of ways including scholarship support. They offer two scholarships: The Ogden Codman Scholarship offers $5,000 for each of four years, with academics and need being primary considerations, as well as recommendations and extracurricular activities. Students who apply for this award typically plan to attend four-year colleges or universities. The Codman Opportunity Scholarship offers $2,500 for each of four years, with similar consideration to the Ogden Codman Scholarship, attention to applicant need and academic strength. This award is available to students attending vocational, technical, community college, or four-year higher education institutions. The Harriett Todd Scholarship, beginning Spring 2021, there will be $5,000 available per year for up to two years for as many as two students. This award is open to all students who attended Lincoln Public Schools from at least Grades 5-8 and who graduated from Lincoln-Sudbury or a vocational institution whose tuition was paid by the Town of Lincoln. The mission of this scholarship is to encourage students pursuing studies and/or training consistent with Harriet Todd's lifetime of devotion to public service and volunteerism, demonstrating both commitment and integrity to a broad range of civic concerns. The award will be given to support students in their studies at post-secondary institutions upon graduation from high school, including a two or four-year college or university, vocational school, or other post-secondary study or certification training program. Awards The Fanny S. Campbell Award for academic achievement honors Miss Campbell (1868-1960), long a resident of Lincoln. With her gift of $1000.00 in 1956 the Lincoln School Association was able to establish a trust entitled the Lincoln Permanent Scholarship Fund with a mandate to accept gifts for the purpose of "enabling deserving Lincoln children to continue their formal education beyond high school." The Sumner Smith Award for community service honors Sumner Smith (1889-1985) a prominent farmer, businessman, and life-long resident of Lincoln who gave generously of his time to community affairs, serving as a member and chair of the Lincoln Board of Selectmen from 1933 to 1943, and as the Lincoln Water Commissioner for 41 years.
