EAST PROVIDENCE — Citizens’ Scholarship Foundation (CSF) of East Providence announces that applications for scholarships for seniors in high school and for undergraduate students enrolled in college, technical or career schools are now available. To be eligible, you must be a resident of the City of East Providence and demonstrate merit and financial need. By filling out one application, students are eligible for more than 150 scholarships.
Susan Jordan, Senior Awards Chair, presents checks to some of the 142 recipients of 2013 scholarships from Citizens’ Scholarship Foundation of East Providence. Recipients, left to right, are Craig Fitzpatrick, a senior at Roger Williams University; Rachel Costa, a junior at Moore College of Art and Design; Alyssa Martins, a sophomore at Rhode Island College; and Kelly Cribari, a freshman at Roger Williams University.
There are two different scholarship applications, and to avoid delay, students need to request either the form for graduating high school seniors or the one for students who have already graduated and are now attending post-secondary school.
