This year we have added an additional scholarship for seniors who attend Essex Northshore Agricultural & Technical School and have parent(s) or legal guardian(s) residing in Manchester or Essex, Massachusetts. This scholarship is given to assist local students in meeting the expenses associated with furthering their education or continuing on in the occupation or field of their technical training.
The Manchester-Essex Rotary Club has been able to distribute $10,000 in scholarships each year for the past several years as a result of successful fundraising efforts through the annual Kentucky Derby Auction or raffle in May and annual golf tournament in October as well as through the generosity of its members and our community.
