The Dorchester Board of Trade has established three scholarships in the amount of $500.00 each, which will be awarded to three Dorchester residents enrolled in advanced education for the 2008-2009 academic year. It has become one of the most rewarding projects of the Board. But now, with the increasing cost of education, and the greater demand for financial aid, we need your help to build a larger support system to service our community. It is our hope that with your financial contribution, eventually the Scholarship will be self-supporting. This year, with your help, the Scholarship Fund can become more successful than ever. Remember, any contribution, large or small, will be greatly appreciated. Please take a moment now to fill out the Dorchester Board of Trade's "Scholarship Donation Form".
