SCHOLARSHIP

Each year, the Friends of the Library sponsor a scholarship for one or more high school graduating seniors who will attend a 2- or 4-year college or university full-time in the fall. Eligible students must be residents of Chelmsford and have an ongoing relationship with a library or have volunteered or worked at a library.

Please read the application for more details. To apply: print the application to fill out and then scan and send to [email protected] or drop off at the Library (during open hours) before midnight on March 31.

  1. Scholarship(s) will be awarded annually in spring.
  2. The number and value of the awards will be based upon the number and quality of applications. 
  3. All decisions of the CFOL Scholarship Committee will be final.

Our intent for this scholarship money is to provide financial assistance towards the purchase of the recipient’s textbooks or other similar educational fees or expenses. Applications are available to download and print here or through the Chelmsford High School (CHS) guidance office/Naviance.
