Dear Lincoln neighbors,
We’re excited to share some good news: the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Lincoln and Weston is expanding our scholarship program to help even more neighbors pursue education, training, and new opportunities.
For the past ten years, thanks to the generosity of the Ogden Codman Trust, we’ve provided need-based scholarships of up to $2,500 per term to adults looking to improve their job prospects, train for a new career, or return to the workforce after time away. Scholarships are available to Lincoln residents, non-residents who work at least half-time in Lincoln, and families with children in the Lincoln public schools.
Now, we’re opening the program to younger learners in as well — including:
- College juniors and seniors whose families can’t afford rising college costs
- Public high school graduates pursuing vocational or technical training programs that may not be available free through community colleges or other programs
We know many families are navigating financial challenges right now, and we hope this program can make a meaningful difference. Please help us spread the word to anyone who might benefit.
To learn more, visit SVdP Lincoln and Weston Scholarships or reach out through our contact page. You can also leave us a message at 781-899-2611, extension 4. We’d love to hear from you!
— Pat Burns (president, The Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Lincoln and Weston)
