$65,000 in scholarships was awarded to local high school seniors from 13 different Eastern Massachusetts high schools from Cambridge Savings Bank and Cambridge Savings Charitable Foundation. A total of 26 graduating seniors were recognized through the 2012 Kevin J. Fitzgerald Scholarship Program.
"Cambridge Savings Bank is dedicated to supporting local education by helping to provide students with the resources they need to continue their education after high school," said Robert M. Wilson, president of the Cambridge Savings Charitable Foundation and president and CEO of Cambridge Savings Bank. "The Cambridge Savings Charitable Foundation is proud to have provided more than three-quarters of a million dollars in scholarships, over the past two decades, to students from the communities we serve."
Now in its 21st year, the Kevin J. Fitzgerald Scholarship Program has awarded more than $815,000 to graduating seniors in the communities Cambridge Savings Bank serves. The program typically awards two $2,500 scholarships to local graduating seniors in each community, one for a traditional four-year program, and a second for a two-year technical/vocational or community college program.
