Are you a graduating senior looking for a little extra financial help with college expenses? The Westford Firefighters Association created a scholarship fund in the early 2000s with the goal of off-setting some of the staggering costs of college tuition. The $500 scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior who is pursuing secondary education at a college or university. The ideal applicant will have a close connection to public safety and display the attributes of a community involved citizen. The award will give preference to families of active and retired firefighters. Other factors including GPA, community service hours, volunteer work, and pursuing a career in public safety will be considered. Recipients will be selected by a committee from the Westford Firefighters Association.
The application period is closed for 2022. Applications will open again in February of 2023.
