Lawrence Prospera High School Scholarship Fund Before he was a budding, young film maker, Estarlyn was a student at the Lawrence Family Development Charter School and a Reach for the Stars scholarship recipient. Estarlyn moved from the Dominican Republic to Lawrence when he was 10. With help from the Lawrence Prospera scholarship fund, Estarlyn became a star student at St. John’s Prep in Danvers, MA. At St. John’s he was a member of the National Honor Society, he received the President’s Award for Educational Excellence, and the St. John’s Prep Xaverian Award. In 2017, he graduated with honors from St., John’s. Estarlyn received numerous scholarships to continue his academic career at Providence College. Estarlyn became interested in film while a student at St. John’s and began making short films during his freshman year at Providence. In his short time as a film maker, his work has been selected for numerous regional and international film festivals, including winning Best Comedy Short Film at the Istanbul Film Awards in February of this year. Estarlyn graduated Summa Cum Laude from Providence this past Spring and is taking a couple of years to expand his portfolio of work on major studio movie productions in Boston, MA & Providence, RI. He plans to move to the West Coast by 2023 to work in the film industry in Los Angeles. 2021 Scholarship Recipients are attending:: Central Catholic High School Clark School Darien High School Deerfield Academy Glastonbury High School Lowell Catholic High School Miss Hall’s School Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School LAWRENCE PROSPERA FY’2020–2021 ANNUAL REPORT Phillips Academy Andover Pingree School Ridgefield High School St. John’s Prep PAGE 10
