The Mattapoisett Woman's Club will offer four $1,000 scholarships to Mattapoisett residents graduating from high school in June 2017. Those who are re-entering the academic world after graduating prior to 2017 and are in pursuit of a post-secondary degree program, will also be considered.

The Mattapoisett Woman's Club is a philanthropic organization that plans and executes fundraising events to help generate the revenue for these scholarships and other charitable donations. In offering these scholarships, the club looks to support educational leadership and give back to the community that has helped in its fundraising efforts.

To apply and obtain the scholarship applications, contact the guidance offices at Old Rochester Regional High School, Tabor Academy, Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School, Bishop Stang High School or Bristol County Agricultural High School.

Both applications will be available. Only Mattapoisett residents may apply. The deadline for returning the completed application is April 30.

The scholarship winners will be announced at the schools' award night prior to graduation.

The scholarship money is paid directly to the student's college and the scholarship will be granted after the first successfully completed semester in college.

Further questions may be addressed to the Mattapoisett Woman's Club at P.O. Box 1444, Mattapoisett, MA 02739.
