Scholarship Association Continuing Awards Gifted
/From The Newtown Bee
Newtown Scholarship Association (NSA) recently announced this year’s lineup of continuing aid scholarship recipients. A total of $301,500 was awarded to 89 students who are in their sophomore, junior, or senior year of college.
In addition, 57 high school graduates were awarded $100,500 in June.
Due to the ever-rising costs of a college education, the NSA scholarships represent less than 15 percent of the unmet need for the recipients. The difference will become a huge burden of debt on the families and students, according to NSA.
The association also announced a year-end fund drive appeal will be mailed this month, when NSA will ask for the support of the Newtown community.
“It is through your generosity that we are able to provide need-based scholarships to students residing in Newtown,” said NSA Awards Chairperson Stephanie Gaston.
