The Tony and Alphonso Hamilton Scholarship

This scholarship was created by the Robert E. Lee High School Class of 1975 during its 50th Reunion to create a legacy honoring the leadership of Anthony “Tony” Eugene Hamilton and his father, Alphonso “Al” Hamilton and to honor the memory of classmates that were no longer with us.

Awards are granted annually to graduating seniors at Staunton High School who plan to continue their education at an accredited, not-for-profit trade school, junior or community college, or a four-year college or university.

  2. Demonstrated financial need
  3. Good standing in school and the community

Preference is given to candidates who demonstrate:

  • A record of extra-curricular involvement (including volunteer service or employment)
