Edwards Scholarship Fund
The Edwards Scholarship Fund was established in 1939 by the will of Grace M. Edwards, a lifelong resident of Boston. The basic purpose of the fund is to further the development of good citizenship through education. The Fund offers scholarships to young men and women of good character and ability who are in need of financial assistance for higher education. Recipients are encouraged to remember the Fund when they are gainfully employed in their chosen professions. Donations to the Fund are acknowledged in writing and are completely tax deducible.ELIGIBILITY
