MVCMA Scholarship Available

The Board's Scholarship and Memorial Gifts Committee is pleased to report that we will again be offering a MVCMA College Scholarship for college-bound high school seniors from among members of Campgrounder families.

As you may know, for many years the MVCMA has been awarding $1000 annual post-secondary scholarships to graduates of the two Martha's Vineyard high schools. The Board has now expanded this program to add a third scholarship for Campground kids.  Interested high-school seniors can find the necessary application materials here:
