Matthew Carey was a beloved Lincoln Park teacher and Allen Park football coach.  His impact in both communities was as big as his welcoming personality.  His passion for education, leadership and community will live on through this memorial scholarship.  The Matthew Carey Memorial Scholarship was established to support students who demonstrate a love of learning, strong work ethic, a focus on community, curiousity, and those who seek creative ways to better their world and help others.

Applicants must be a graduating senior from either Allen Park Public Schools or Lincoln Park Public Schools, have a minimum GPA of 3.0, be pursuing a career in math, science or education, demonstrate leadership in school or sports, and be community minded.
