The Lance Aaron Lashley Scholarship Program
Retired Detective Inspector Lance Aaron Lashley who died unexpectedly in September 2016, was committed to helping at-risk male youths from East Port of Spain. He believed that educational opportunity was key to steering at-risk males away from a life
of crime. To continue Inspector Lashley’s legacy, his daughter and four (4) siblings established the Lance Aaron Lashley Memorial High School Scholarship in 2017.
Nelson Street Boys’ R.C. School was selected based on the number of students who reside in the disadvantaged areas of East Port of Spain, such as Nelson Street, Laventille, Sea Lots and Beetham Estates etc.
