New Hampshire woman establishes UFU scholarship

NEW YORK - Anne Dobriansky, the daughter of the late Mary Godzyk and the late Michael Dobriansky, has created a student scholarship fund at the Ukrainian Free University Foundation in support of studies about Ukraine.

Both of Ms. Dobriansky's parents came from Ukraine's Lemko region; they instilled in their daughter great love and respect for the Ukrainian heritage.

Ms. Dobriansky is a lifelong member of St. Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church of Manchester, N.H. The church was built shortly after her parents arrived from Europe; her father was one of the first altar boys at the parish.

Ms. Dobriansky attended the local school in Manchester and graduated from Manchester High School in 1932. She was an employee of the National Manchester Bank before retiring.

Ms. Dobriansky's donation of $5,000 for the creation of a special scholarship fund will provide an educational opportunity for students from Ukraine. The UFU faculty and the board of the UFU Foundation expressed their deepest gratitude to Ms. Dobriansky for her gift.
