About Lori Breard-Weeden

This scholarship honors the memory of a woman who embodied kindness, generosity, and wholehearted commitment to others. She was known for her caring spirit and her inability to say no, always volunteering, always helping, always showing up. Entering the real estate profession later in life, she quickly found her calling. She deeply loved her career and was genuinely invested in every buyer and seller she worked with, building relationships grounded in trust and care.
Above all, she was a devoted mother who never missed a cheerleading competition or tennis match, proudly supporting her daughter at every turn. She found joy in cooking for others, hand-quilting with remarkable talent, and taking her weekly walks along the beach. Ever the optimist, when asked how she was doing, her signature reply—borrowed from Mary Poppins—was always, “Practically perfect.” This scholarship reflects her legacy of service, positivity, and love for her seacoast area community.
This scholarship is given every year to graduating seniors domiciled in New Hampshire. Due to the success of last year’s fundraising, we are increasing the number of recipients from three to four. To qualify for the scholarship, the Senior must be accepted to an accredited post-graduate program, motivated to learn, involved with the community and sponsored by a Seacoast Board REALTOR® or an Affiliate. Seacoast Board Community Outreach is dedicated to working throughout the year to raise money for the scholarships by means of raffles, events, and other fundraisers.
