The Manon Collins Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 2025 to honor the life and legacy of Manon Collins who passed away in 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer. Manon showed incredible strength, unbelievable grace, and determination throughout her illness and still brought love, light, and laughter to everyone who knew her. She was a devoted mother, a loyal friend, an enthusiastic fan of basketball and found peace bird watching and taking long walks on the beach. Her greatest joy in life were her two sons and her beautiful spirit lives on through them.

This scholarship celebrates her generous spirit, her unwavering support for those she loved and her gratitude for the little things that made life beautiful. As a lifelong resident of Bristol and graduate of Bristol Central High School, this scholarship will be awarded to a student who embodies her values of kindness, dedication, and strength. Special consideration will be given to male athletes who were members of the basketball team at Bristol Central High School or students pursuing post-secondary education and training at a technical or vocational school.
