Sr. Helen Flynn Scholarship

The Notre Dame College Alumnae Association Sister Helen Flynn Endowed Scholarship Fund was established to benefit the close relatives of a Notre Dame College alumna or an alumnus from the University’s Staten Island campus. 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 the Staten Island campus would do so in an environment conducive to Sister Helen Flynn’s ideals of service, education and faith.
