The Scholarship Foundation of Wakefield provides financial assistance to graduating seniors from Wakefield Memorial High School or Wakefield residents attending post-high school educational institutions as full-time students.

Our grants are intended to supplement an overall financial aid package and be combined with a family contribution and other forms of financial aid such as college grants, loans, or work-study programs to meet the cost of education.

Each applicant must complete this application and submit a copy of his/her FAFSA Student Aid Report (SAR), including the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The information on the report will be used to calculate the amount of the family’s expected contribution. We will determine your eligibility for a grant based on your and your family’s financial resources.

Students are reminded to apply each year of eligibility.

Every application is assigned an ID number to maintain the anonymity of the applicant. The Scholarship Awards Committee determines the financial need of each applicant by comparing the cost of the tuition and fees for the college, with the financial resources of the family and student. The Committee then compares the financial need of each applicant to the needs of all applicants and awards the scholarships to those with the greatest need.
