The Town of Belmont Education Scholarship is made possible to outstanding students who reside in Belmont and are members of any high school, vocational school, private or parochial school.
The scholarship is funded by taxpayers’ check-off contributions and private donations earmarked for general scholarship purposes. Scholarships are awarded on financial need, academic performance (unweighted GPA), and extracurricular activities including community services, school groups and clubs.
Applications are scored by an independent third party, and evaluated by the seven-member Town of Belmont Education Scholarship Committee.
