The Haines Society

Created in 2008, The Haines Society was named to honor John Lyman Haines, Jr. – the first Dolphin Scholar who was awarded a $350 scholarship in 1961. Every Dolphin Scholar – past or present – is invited to join The Haines Society. Members join forces to fund a yearly Haines Society Scholarship for the next generation of high achieving applicants.

2024-2025 Haines Society Scholar

“Being chosen as a Dolphin Scholar represents not only recognition of my academic achievements, but also acknowledgement of the unique journey I’ve embarked on as a military child. As someone pursuing a career working with children, it signifies not only financial support for my education, but also validation of my passion for making a positive difference in the lives of young people. This scholarship is more than just financial support; it’s a testament to the dedication and sacrifices my family and I have made in service to our country. With this opportunity, I am excited to make a meaningful impact, knowing that my hard work and dedication have been recognized and valued. I am deeply grateful for this honor and committed to honoring it through my higher education.”
