Since 1996, The Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor has been providing local public high school graduates with an opportunity to help students and families of students overcome the financial burdens of affording a college education.

How the "College-Bound" Scholarship Works

The Enhanced Scholarship is for those in either two-year or four-year degree programs at accredited Colleges and Universities.

How the “Upward-Bound” Scholarship Works

The 2^nd Chance Scholarship is for those who want to improve their employment opportunities with a certificate course or similar studies.

The Criteria to Receive a Scholarship 

The criteria are the same for all scholarships.

The awards are based on need, community involvement and an essay explaining why you should be considered.

Finalists will be interviewed by the committee.

Follow-on Scholarships

Recipients of the Enhanced Scholarship may qualify for another, larger scholarship in subsequent years of their degree program. These awards are subject to meeting criteria including; grade point average, maintaining a full course load, behavior standards (such as not being on any form of probation) and providing proof of community service. The scholarship recipients will receive a letter each April outlining the requirements for the next year’s award.

The size of future awards are subject to funds being available.
