BULLIS FAMILY SCHOLARSHIPS

Each year at graduation time,  Bullis scholarships awarded at local high schools remind us of the generosity of Nettie Bullis and her family.

A Bullis Room volunteer recently presented two scholarships to Gananda graduating seniors: The Abram R. Bullis Mathematical Scholarship and the Nettie Bullis Business Scholarship. And this coming year 141 graduates of Palmyra-Macedon High School will benefit from The Bullis Family Scholarship. The latter scholarship is renewable each spring and varies in amounts, depending on endowment earnings.

All of the Bullises valued education. Some were formally educated, others self-educated, but their books which make up the Bullis Collection is proof of the fact that they never stopped learning.

We too can continue to learn, and today we have so many more opportunities through the electronic media as well as printed books. Let's take advantage of these resources and, like the Bullises, never stop learning.
