Hines scholarship established

A law firm and a trade group announced today the establishment of a scholarship at Boston College High School to honor Edward F. "Ned" Hines Jr., a prominent tax attorney and a community volunteer who died last year.

The Associated Industries of Massachusetts, an employers association that Hines once chaired, and Choate, Hall & Stewart, a law firm where Hines was a partner for many years, said they will announce the scholarship at a luncheon today at the Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel.

The scholarship will be awarded to a qualified student who could not attend BC High without financial assistance, AIM and Choate, Hall & Stewart said; BC High was Hines' alma mater.
