The Marie and Lawrence Ward Scholarship was established by their son and daughter in law, Dr. Shawn L. Ward, Ph.D. '80 and Mrs. Mary Leak Ward '80 as they celebrated their 30th Reunion at Siena and their daughter Erin's graduation from Siena in 2010. Marie and Lawrence, who are Third Order Franciscans, value faith, family and education. This scholarship will be awarded annually to a student with junior status, preferably one pursuing a teaching certificate, with preference given to a student from northern New Jersey.
