Students who apply to the Scholarship program may be eligible for many of these funds. Scholarships may be used to offset tuition, fees, room and board, and other items included as part of the cost for attending the institution. Most scholarships are for students who live in Franklin, Hampshire, and Hampden Counties. However, some are also available to students who live in Berkshire County and Hartford County in Connecticut. We offer scholarships to those who attend on either a full-time or part-time basis. Any student who plans to enroll for the upcoming fall semester, in any year of college as an undergraduate or graduate student and who will attend an accredited post-secondary school in the United States may apply.Scholarships are provided for one academic year and are not automatically renewed each year. You can reapply to our program every year you are going to attend college, and the application you submit that year will be considered for all scholarships for which you are eligible.
