Patricia H. Hopkins was  a mentor, friend, coach,  and  advisor to  the  students of  North Dorchester High School  for 22 years. Mrs. Hopkins was the director of guidance, coached varsity sports, and  taught physical education. She displayed a caring, loving attitude to all the people she engaged, in and  out  of the school. She was an incredible inspiration to the students of North Dorchester High School  during her tenure there.

Mrs.  Hopkins lost  her  battle with cancer in October of 1981. In 1982, a group of friends, colleagues, and  family formed a scholarship fund in her honor.  This fund  provides financial assistance to  graduating seniors from  North Dorchester High School to assist them with their college expenses.

The  first  award was  issued in 1982 in  the amount of $1,000.00. Since 1982, the Patricia Hopkins Scholarship Fund has awarded over $250,000 in scholarships to some very deserving college bound students.

Interested seniors submit an  application and are interviewed by the board of directors of the scholarship committee. Winners are chosen by vote of the committee. The Patricia Hopkins Scholarship Fund depends on contributions to assist  these  students. We ask for your  support in helping these deserving students that might not otherwise be able  to afford  a college education.

The Board  of Directors of the  Patricia Hopkins Scholarship Fund appreciates any help you can offer these deserving students.
We know "Miss Pat" is proud of each  and every one of them.
