EAST PROVIDENCE: ANNUAL COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE NOW

East Providence residents who are high school seniors or who are undergraduates in an accredited college, community college, technical or vocational school are eligible to apply for a scholarship from Scholarship Foundation (SF) of East Providence.

Students who live in East Providence and attend public, private or parochial school in another location, or who are home-schooled, are eligible to apply.

 

Last year SF of East Providence awarded more than $208,000 in scholarships. Each student receives a scholarship package of at least $1,100.

 

Due to the challenges associated with the pandemic, students are strongly encouraged to apply as soon as possible. In order to complete the application, high school students will have to contact their guidance counselor to complete a section, and enrolled students will need to contact their college bursar to order transcripts.  

 

All information is due by the deadline and applicants need to allow time for receipt of these essential documents.

 

Applications for graduating seniors are available in the guidance offices at East Providence High School, St. Mary’s Academy Bay View, St. Raphael Academy, LaSalle Academy, Bishop Feehan, Bishop Hendricken, St. Andrew’s, Barrington Christian Academy, Providence Country Day and The Jacqueline M.
