The Notre Dame College Alumnae Association Sister Helen Flynn
Scholarship Fund was established to benefit close relatives of a
Notre Dame alumna or an alumnus from the University’s Staten Island
campus, a graduate of an un undergraduate program on St. John’s SI
campus, or a former scholarship recipient. After serving a life of
ministry, scholarship and intellectual challenge of the highest
degree, Sister Helen Flynn’s remarkable faith and devotion to God,
Gospel and community influenced all who came to know her. The
scholarship was established with the belief that those who choose
to study at Staten Island campus would do so in an environment
conducive to Sister Helen Flynn’s ideals of service, education and
faith.
