Scholarship Association Aides Bolton Grads

Community Generosity Provides Awards for BCS Alumni

The Bolton Scholarship Committee meets each February to award new scholarships to deserving alumni from Bolton Central School. This year’s graduates, like those before them, will be eligible to apply for scholarships when they complete their freshman year of college.

Graduates are eligible to apply for each of the four years of undergraduate study and must have been enrolled for at least 12 credit hours per semester. Students must submit a college transcript and have a G.P.A. of at least 2.5 to qualify. Awards are granted to students attending two-year and four-year colleges and technical/trade schools.

The Bolton Scholarship Committee makes the grants from its endowment fund, and awards are based on the annual interest earned by this fund. This keeps the scholarship fund self-sustaining, according to BCS Guidance Counselor Michelle Borgh, herself a BCS graduate. 

Both memorial scholarships and organizational awards comprise the fund. Memorial scholarships are established after donations in the individual’s name reach $1,000. 

The committee is overseen by a board of directors who meet on an annual basis to review applications and set direction for the organization. The fund’s charter stipulates that the Board of Directors must be comprised of a combination of community leaders and school officials.
