2022 Rockland Trust Scholarship
Anthony D'Isidoro
Dear Neighbors,
As a community-oriented bank, Rockland Trust is committed to strengthening the neighborhoods we live in and serve. For many years, one of the ways we have proudly upheld this commitment is through our annual scholarship program. Rockland Trust has established a scholarship program to assist high school seniors or graduates, or GED recipients that reside in one of the following counties: Barnstable, Bristol, Dukes, Essex, Middlesex, Nantucket, Norfolk, Plymouth, Suffolk, or Worcester Counties in Massachusetts; along with Providence County, Rhode Island who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.
Starting February 15th, we will begin accepting online applications for our new program.
Please note that the program will be offered through Scholarship America, and we will be accepting online applications only.
The Scholarship application will close on Tuesday, March 29, 2022, or before, once 1,500 applications are fully submitted.
Below are some of the most exciting changes this year:
· Up to 16 scholarships will be given for $3,000 each annually, which is an increase in both number and award amount
· Scholarships are eligible to be renewed for up to three additional years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first
· Scholarships are available to students planning to attend an accredited two or four-year college/university or vocational program, either on a full or part-time basis
