The Scholarship Advisory Committee posted its annual application for three scholarship opportunities. The Town asked me to share the news.
(And given the issues around Financial Aid this year, this may be in more need than ever.)
Southborough residents who are currently enrolled in a “post-secondary undergraduate program” or are high school seniors planning to attend one next year, may apply for any or all of these awards:
- The Southborough Town Scholarship, established in 1987, takes into consideration volunteer and work experiences that benefit the Southborough Community, academics, financial need, extracurricular activities, as well as written expression.
- The following scholarships use the same criteria as above but with an additional focus:
- The Carroll Harris Memorial Scholarship, established in 1999 – the applicant must also have participated in gymnastics, plan to major in physical education, education or recreation, or have demonstrated active participation in a town recreation program.
- The Linda Hubley Memorial Scholarship, established in 2022 – the applicant must also demonstrate a commitment to their community through volunteerism, environmental protection and/or ongoing education in these areas.
The Town’s single application form can be used for one or more of the scholarships.
You can find the form with instructions here or at the Southborough Town House and local High School guidance offices.
To be considered, applications (with all of the required supporting documents) must arrive at the Town House by 4:00 pm on Monday, May 9th. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.
All of these scholarships are funded by donations. To support the scholarship funds, click here.
