Rob Haley, president of the Mattapoisett Lions Club, has announced that Jane Kassabian and Adam Estes are the recipients of the 2016 Award of Excellence. Each will receive a $2,500 scholarship.

Kassabian, a senior at Old Rochester Regional High School, will attend the University of Notre Dame in the fall, and Estes, a senior at Bishop Stang High School, will attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Both are recognized for their community service work, their career goals and academic records.

Over the past six years, the members of the Lions Club have awarded $25,000 in scholarships.

Funds for these awards were raised through the efforts of the Mattapoisett Lions at the annual Harbor Days Arts and Crafts Festival and other events throughout the year.
