| As
a Bolton High School graduate and/or resident of the town of Bolton,
you have had the opportunity to apply to the Bolton Scholarship
Fund for financial assistance and may have received a scholarship.
As you may remember, this organization is unique among others in
the area in that we make awards to graduating
seniors, and continue
to support Bolton, CT students throughout their college careers.
Founded in November 1971, the committee awarded the first scholarships
in June 1972.
In addition to the memorial and special funds which have been established
throughout the years, we receive contributions from local businesses
and the community at large. In an effort to continue the work of
the committee, we ask Bolton High School alumni to contribute to
the Scholarship Fund. No amount is too small; even if you can send
only $1, $2, or $5 it will be appreciated. Donations of $25 or more,
received by May 1, will be acknowledged in the Bolton High School
graduation program in the following categories:
| Contributors |
$25 - $49 |
| Friends |
$50 - $99 |
| Sponsors |
$100 - $199 |
| Patrons |
$200 - $299 |
| Benefactors |
$300 and above |
At the donor's discretion, contributions of $300 or more may be
awarded as a named scholarship
or deposited in the General Fund. A named scholarship such as this
may be a one-time award or continue year to year with an annual
contribution of $300. It is also possible to award a memorial scholarship
to honor a deceased loved one and to establish ongoing Memorial
and Special Funds from which annual scholarships are awarded.
We would be pleased to provide more
information with regard to the establishment of these funds.
On a personal note, we hope that all is well with you and your
families, and thank you for your past support. If you are a Bolton,
CT resident and received our regular annual appeal letter, or were
contacted during our Phonathon, we apologize for the duplication.
Our relationship with the Bolton Alumni Association continues and
we do encourage you to help with updating that group's data base.
If your class has held a reunion recently, we ask that you share
an updated class list with us.
