The Framingham Co-operative Bank Charitable Foundation has awarded $3,000 to fund the Edwin Alexis Marin Memorial Scholarship program at Framingham High School. The funds will be allocated to three graduating Latino seniors.

The scholarships are named for a student who died in a car accident following his sophomore year at Framingham High. The program encourages Latino students at the high school to continue on to college.

"The foundation has supported the Memorial Scholarship program since 2008, providing educational support for seven college-bound Latino students to date," said Robert P. Lamprey, chairman of the foundation.

"All of the prior scholarship winners are still enrolled in college and ‘doing very well,’" said Esta Montano, director of equity and achievement for Framingham Public Schools.

"We are hopeful that the Edwin Alexis Marin Memorial Scholarship winners will be among the future leaders of our community," said Lamprey. "We are pleased to help them achieve their academic goals."
