The East Hampton Level Playing Field Foundation on Monday announced the recipients of its 2025 scholarships to help defray the cost of college counseling, SAT prep courses, and college visits and applications for “high academically achieving sophomores and juniors.”

High school students who need (or want) community service hours have lots of opportunities to lend a hand this week at the East Hampton Library.
