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.
