City Offering Five $1,000 Scholarships To Marlborough Students

MARLBOROUGH, MA —The mayor, together with members of the Marlborough City Council and the City Scholarship Committee, are again offering scholarships this year.

The deadline is May 12.

Financial contributions from Marlborough's taxpayers through a special, voluntary check-off system on municipal tax bills will enable the City to offer five $1,000.00 scholarships to City of Marlborough residents this year.

The City Scholarship Committee will then select the recipients and amounts of financial aid from the scholarship fund derived from the check-off program. The recipients must be residents of the city and must apply and be accepted to a college or university of their choice. The committee said it would take into consideration each recipient's financial need, scholastic record, involvement in community work, a personal essay, as well as extracurricular school activities.
