The Atkinson Scholarship Program was established in 1995 to recognize local high school seniors with financial need, academic promise and the capacity to make a meaningful contribution to society.
The program is named for Sudbury Foundation founders Herbert and Esther Atkinson who believed strongly in giving back to the community and were particularly interested in supporting the town’s young people. Since its inception, we’ve provided over $8,000,000 to 420 students.
The Atkinson Scholarship Program is designed to help local high school students with financial need and academic promise attend the college or university of their choice by awarding scholarships of up to $7,500 per year. Recipients have the opportunity to reapply for three additional years of support for a total of $30,000.
