    As requested by our applicants, a new format for LAMB Applications is now available. After a wonderful LAMB Scholarship meeting held on March 10th, we will launch this new online format. While the paper format is still acceptable by either collecting an already printed application at Moores School or downloading from the website; we wanted to make it easy for everyone to apply.
    What is new about the application:

    1. You are ONLY required to fill out section A of the application, and then any section related to the scholarship you are applying to. For example, if you are only applying to the Ruth-Ann Schoberg Scholarship you do NOT need to fill out any other sections.
    2. Recommendations Forms can be submitted in 2 ways: You can provide emails for your recommender if you choose to use the online format. We will then send an email to the teacher to fill out the form online. OR  you can choose to bring in a SEALED envelope with the completed recommendations to Moores Primary School.
    3. You MUST fill out the entire form at one time. You cannot save the form and return later. Also, you cannot make changes once you submit. If you want to make changes, you must complete the entire application over, or contact LAMB Foundation directly.

    If you have any questions on the new format please do not hesitate to contact us at LAMB Foundation. We are happy to answer any questions. Also if you have any issues with the application please let us know so we can fix it immediately. Thank you.

    You can find the application at http://www.lamb-foundation.org/staging/3624/lamb-scholarship-application.html

  • Congratulations to the 2014 LAMB Scholarship Recipients

    Picture

    We at LAMB Foundation would like to thank everyone who continues to make our scholarships possible. We look forward to another successful year in 2015.

    Consi Duvalier-Ruth-Ann Schoberg Achievement Scholarship
    This year’s recipient for the Ruth-Ann Schoberg Achievement Award has painted a portrait of excellence for herself. Since the initiation of LAMB Foundation Scholarships we have continually seen her name as a strong candidate at every grade level. This student has already in the last 2 years received 3 LAMB Scholarships from placing in the top 3 of her class in 2012 and 2013 and also being the top scorer on her Numeracy exam. This year she will walk away with two more from LAMB Foundation Scholarship, this being one. 

    One thing we do know from life and pursuing education is, if you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you. You cannot be stopped!  In your essay to LAMB Foundation, you stated receiving this award would show that your hard work has paid off, well, Consi Duvalier, we would like to congratulate you and say, my dear, your work has paid off, but don’t stop here. The world is yours to conquer. Stay focused, and before you know it you will be holding the world in your hands.

    Deneisha Dawkins-Dorothy Williams Scholarship
    Dorothy Williams Scholarship is always a very hard task. This year’s recipient for this award is an ambitious young lady who poured her heart and desires into her essay. She is excited to learn and hopes to become a teacher one day. It was evident from her essay that receiving this scholarship was not just for the benefit of this young student, she had a heart that extends beyond her age. She cares to help her family, and her community. While this scholarship may only be able to help her through school, she refuses to let that be the reason she cannot reach back and help someone else in her position. This is the type of student that earns her way to success pulling someone else working towards the same goal. The reason she aims to be a teacher is because of that one special teacher Ms.. Brown whom though strict as she says, wants nothing but the best for her. Well, Ms. Deneisha Dawkins congratulations on receiving the Dorothy Williams Scholarship this year. We hope to hear more about your journey to becoming a teacher, and as you continue on don’t forget the proverb: “one good turn deserves another.”

    Cassandrann Dennis-  Duhany-Bell Alumni Award
    This year we started a new scholarship opened for students currently in high school, who are excelling in their studies. This year our recipient is no stranger to LAMB Scholarships. She has received 3 LAMB Scholarships awards in 2 years by placing top 3 in her class here at Moores Primary in 2012 and 2013. She was also the recipient of our Ruth-Ann Schoberg Achievement Awards in 2013. Now attending Denbigh High School she has finished her first year once again at the top of her class. She has now extended her extra curricular activities to 4H club and the netball team. You stated you wanted to make the members of LAMB Foundation proud, ever since we met you Ms. Cassandrann Dennis we have been proud. You are relentless and dedicated, and I am sure your friends, family, Moores Primary and community members are all proud of your great accomplishments. Congratulations Cassandrann Dennis. Hopefully with this award you will continue to excel.

  • 2012 Ruth-Ann Schoberg Achievement Award Recipients

    Ruth-Ann Schoberg was a woman who saw potential in everyone. She would push you beyond your own limits until finally you too realized your own potential. She had a special love for the care and nurturing of children, and for that her children, grandchildren, and all those that came in contact with her remember just how important getting an education meant to her. As a member of Moores Community and a strong advocate for education a scholarship dedicated to her will be the first of many to follow.This years applications made it extremely difficult to choose. The children of this class have worked hard all year and have put forth their best in the application process. We took into account their grades, extra curricular activities, exam scores, leadership, and essay.After a panel evaluated the students, LAMB Inc would like to congratulate Breyanna Wright and Davin Nelson as the first recipients of the Ruth-Ann Schoberg Achievement Award. Their passion to work hard and achieve more was extremely exemplary. Breyanna along with excellent grades and test scores held multiple leadership roles in the school being the treasurer of peace club and the president of 4H club. She aspires to become a Midwife and stated if she received this scholarship and I quote, “when I achieve my goals I could come back and do the same for someone in my situation.”Davin aspires to be a teacher, and in working hard became the most improved student in Grade 4. She realized his desire to achieve his goals refuses to let anything stand in his way. He is also involved in under 13 football and cricket. He also has a strong involvement in his church. Davin stated “I worked very hard to pass my examinations and I will work even harder when I attend high school. I understand the meaning of hard work.”These students will receive a $250 US voucher for school needs only and school supplies to start the new school year.Thank you Breyanna & Davin for your applications for our scholarship and congratulations on being chosen as the recipients this year. Best wishes as you continue your education and never forget.STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE ALWAYS!LAMB Inc
