Below is a press release from the Melrose-Wakefield Area Branch of the American Association of University Women:
MELROSE, MA — The Melrose-Wakefield Area Branch of the American Association of University Women is pleased to offer two scholarships for the 2024-2025 academic year.
A branch scholarship, which is in the amount of $2,000.00, is available as a result of the fundraising activities of the branch and donations received in memory of branch members and their loved ones.
The other scholarship, which is in the amount of $1,500.00, is offered from the Diana L. Goldblith Scholarship Fund, which was established by donations from Mrs. Goldblith’s family and friends following her sudden death in June 1990. Mrs. Goldblith, a longtime Melrose resident, was an active and enthusiastic participant in AAUW’s Literature Group, Great Decisions Group, and Stellar Investment Club.
To be eligible, one must be a resident of Melrose, Wakefield, North Reading, Georgetown, Wilmington, Cambridge, or Georgetown, Maine. These are all communities from which the branch derives members this year. In addition, one must attend or be a graduate of a four-year AAUW-accredited college or university, and must have completed at least two years of study prior to the fall of 2024. Special consideration will be given to applicants who have maintained high academic standing and can demonstrate a need for the scholarship for a specific purpose related to educational goals. All applications will be processed anonymously.
