The Vermont Superintendents Association has established a student scholarship to honor long-time Lamoille South Supervisory Union Superintendent, Dr. Alice Angney. The scholarship will commemorate Angney’s outstanding service to public education and children in Vermont by providing a $1000 scholarship to a Vermont high school senior.  The scholarship will be awarded on the basis of the student's leadership, service to his/her community, academic achievement and initiative in overcoming a specific challenge.

The Association will award the first Angney Scholarship in May of 2008.
