Eligible candidates include students who may not, as of yet, achieved their full academic potential due to circumstances beyond their control. Our students often have to place family responsibilities ahead of their education. A few examples include students who need to work to help contribute to their family’s finances, those taking care of an ill parent or sibling or not having adequate housing. Our scholarship targets students who have had to take on a more adult role and therefore their studies may have suffered. We at Puritan Lawn are looking to provide the momentum to help these students succeed academically. Our recipients are determined to beat the odds and obtain their goal of pursuing secondary education and we are determined to assist them. If you are interested in finding out more about applying to our scholarship program or in making a contribution to our foundation, please contact us at (978) 535-3660. Checks can also be written out to the Puritan Lawn Educational Foundation and mailed to:

100% of all money received goes directly to the Puritan Lawn Educational Foundation and is tax deductible.
