“The Community Foundation is pleased to offer a wide range of scholarships reflecting the broad diversity of the students in Southeastern Massachusetts pursuing a higher education,” said President John Vasconcellos. “With rising tuition costs, it is more and more difficult for students and their families to pay for a college education. We hope that many students throughout our region will check out our website and apply for these scholarships.”
Improving educational attainment in the region has been a top priority of Community Foundation grant-making. The Foundation’s grant making has supported expanding early literacy programs, advocacy programs to increase educational attainment, support of STEM programs and adult education, as well as scholarships for students to pursue higher education.
