St. Vincent de Paul scholarship opportunity for Lincoln residents

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) of Lincoln and Weston is pleased to announce a scholarship opportunity for Lincoln residents in need and for all our food pantry clients. The scholarships are intended for highly motivated adults who would like to take courses or attend job training to improve their earning capability but cannot afford to do so. They are not intended for young adults heading to college for the first time, nor are they normally awarded for master’s-level work and above.

Scholarships of up to $2,000 are awarded on a rolling basis. The goal of this program is to encourage neighbors to imagine a better future and to work towards making lasting changes and gaining financial stability.

SVdP is grateful for the ongoing support of the trustees of Ogden Codman Trust who are going to fund scholarships for the next three years. They have also awarded grants for financial emergency assistance and a matching grant for the recent SVdP spring concert fundraiser.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Lincoln and Weston provides financial emergency assistance and scholarships to financially disadvantaged neighbors and operates a food pantry in Lincoln. To apply for a scholarship or inquire about other programs, email SVdPLincolnWeston@gmail.com, call the St. Julia Parish office at 781-899-2611 ext. 4, or visit www.svdplincolnweston.org.
