PURPOSE
The McLean’s Scholarship Fund is being established in collaboration with the family of Myron McLean (Mr. Mac), a former teacher at Holmwood. Mr. McLean passed away in 2019, and his family offered to partner with the NY Chapter of the Holmwood Past Students’ Association to launch this scholarship in honor of his contribution to the institution. The scholarship will award one student who is enrolled in the Electrical/Electronic program, with an amount of US$250.00 per year for up to 4 years, to assist with funding for school supplies, or other related expenses.
The scholarship will be managed by the NY Chapter of the Holmwood Past Students’ Association in association with the McLean family. This includes the evaluation and selection of qualified candidates. Awards will be made on an annual basis, and previously awarded candidates may re-apply each year while still in the academic program. All scholarship awards will be paid directly to the institution, for disbursement to the selected applicant.

The funds will be administered by Holmwood Technical High School Alumni Association, New York chapter.
