SOUTHAMPTON, NY—This year marks 40 years of the Paulette H. Brown Memorial Scholarship Fund supporting graduates of Southampton High School.

Established in memory of Paulette H. Brown—lovingly known as “Sis”—the scholarship honors her legacy of academic excellence, leadership, and community service. A proud member of the Shinnecock Nation and an honor graduate of Southampton High School, Sis lived a life defined by achievement, cultural pride, and dedication to others.

Since 1986, the scholarship has been awarded annually to graduating seniors who reflect those same qualities of perseverance, character, and commitment to community. We strive to assist as many Shinnecock graduates as possible each year; however, non-Shinnecock students who apply are also considered. Scholarships help grads cover tuition, books, and other educational expenses as they pursue their academic and professional goals.

While our family remains dedicated to sustaining this scholarship, we rely on the generosity of supporters like you to ensure its continued success. Every gift, of any size, helps us continue Sis’ legacy and make a lasting difference for Southampton graduates.
