Hanover High School Scholarships

Every year the Hanover Club supports scholarships for graduating high school seniors that are residents of Hanover.  

The Courtney Neville Scholarship

 Courtney Neville was an asset to the Hanover Club, the community and to the Hanover Public Schools as a Speech and Language Pathologist. Courtney dedicated her professional career so that children could share their words, thoughts, and feelings with confidence. Growing up Courtney was active in the Girl Scouts and was an accomplished volleyball player at Marist College. Within the Club, Courtney was known for her ever present smile, her dedication to community service, and her never-ending willingness to help out. She was incredibly committed to her family and pets. Established in 2020, it is with great honor and humility that we are able to offer an additional scholarship to commemorate Courtney.
