WESTFIELD AWARDS $1,000 SCHOLARSHIP TO BAY SHORE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT

Continuing its longstanding pledge to enrich the communities in which it operates, Westfield South Shore is pleased to announce it has awarded a $1,000 scholarship to Tim Maisonave, a 2014 graduate of Bay Shore High School. The scholarship is given to students pursuing a career in business. Tim's high school classes included Advanced Accounting, Intro to Calculus, and College Business Law.  He will be attending SUNY Farmingdale in the fall, majoring in accounting.

Westfield, one of the world's leading shopping center companies, has helped hundreds of children grow and learn through philanthropic programs such as scholarships, fundraising, and local charity and school partnerships. We actively support anti-bullying initiatives and recently used event space in one of our centers to promote respect and kindness for all.

"We're proud to award Tim Maisonwave's diligent academic efforts with this scholarship," said Suzanne Johnson, general manager of Westfield South Shore. "Young students such as Tim are among the next generation of big thinkers and innovators making the world a better place."
