2017 Award Speech
Emma Hopwood

I’m here tonight to present the Jay Shannon Memorial Scholarship. Jay was known as a talented artist, avid Star War’s fan, karaoke enthusiast, and a friend with a signature sense of humor. When he graduated from Trumbull High School, he attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Animation. In a tragic turn of events, Jay passed away in May of 2008.

However, as a tribute to their son, Jay’s parents started the Jay Shannon Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship is dedicated to helping a Trumbull High School senior who is pursuing a higher education in the Arts.

As last year’s recipient, I have the privilege of presenting this year’s scholarship to another talented artist of THS. This young man isn’t just a member of the indoor and outdoor track team, but also a designer. In addition to using his skills online, this student gave Trumbull High an amazing Poetry Slam T-shirt design this year. He plans on attending Southern Connecticut State University with a major in the Studio Arts.  This year’s recipient of the Jay Shannon Memorial Scholarship is Jeffery Delgado.
