Scarsdale foundation offers scholarship aid

Students who graduated from Scarsdale High School or lived in Scarsdale during their high school years and who have completed their first, second, or third years of college are invited to apply to the Scarsdale Foundation for tuition assistance. For the current 2020-21 academic year, the Foundation awarded need-based grants totaling $138,000 to 32 students attending private and state-supported colleges and universities.

Applications for the 2021-22 academic year should be submitted online using this fill-in 2021 Scholarship Application Form by Tuesday, June 1, 2021. Additional  information, including eligibility and required supporting documents, may be found on the College Scholarships webpage. Questions should be directed to Scholarship Committee Co-Chairs Anne Lyons and B. Kathleen Munguia at [email protected].

The Foundation welcomes contributions from the community to augment the funds available for distribution each year. Contributions may be donated to a specially earmarked Scholarship Fund of the Scarsdale Foundation, enabling the Foundation to carry on the tradition of helping students in need pursue a college education. Donations may be made on our secure Donate webpage or mailed to the Scarsdale Foundation at P.O. Box 542, Scarsdale, NY 10583.

The Scarsdale Foundation also hosts the Scarsdale Bowl Dinner where Scarsdale individuals are recognized for their volunteer service to the community. The 2021 Scarsdale Bowl will be presented to Michelle Lichtenberg in a private ceremony in the spring due to current COVID-19 restrictions on larger gatherings.
