LYNNFIELD — Lynnfield High School 2017 graduate and baseball team captain Nick Aslanian received a $1,000 scholarship from Wakefield Co-operative Bank at the team’s end of season banquet last month.

Aslanian was selected by the coaching team for his upbeat personality, passion for the game, and for being a role model to underclassmen.

“We are proud to announce Nick as the recipient of this scholarship,” said Michael Juliano, treasurer of the Lynnfield Baseball Boosters. “He is well-deserving, not only for his positive attitude on and off the field, but he’s been a true leader – easily accepting his role as a mentor to underclassmen, and I’m sure all of his teammates have loved playing alongside him.”

“Lynnfield Baseball Boosters is very grateful to Wakefield Co-operative Bank for offering this generous scholarship to one of our deserving seniors three years in a row now,” added Juliano. “The bank’s long history of community giving is evident in its ongoing dedication to supporting our team along with many other Lynnfield organizations throughout the years.”

Aslanian is slated to attend Salem State University this fall. He is the son of Ray and Julia Aslanian.
