Remember A Loved One with A Scholarship

Posted

You can create a lasting memorial to a loved one by sponsoring a scholarship in their name. But for many families and organizations, the responsibility for administering a scholarship on their own - recruiting applicants, preparing objective forms, evaluating applications, selecting recipients and presenting awards - can be a burden.

Residents of East Providence can take advantage of the expertise and experience of Scholarship Foundation of East Providence. For more than 50 years, the independent charitable organization has administered thousands of scholarships for businesses, organizations and families in our community.

Residents interested in providing a scholarship may send in one check for the scholarship or can invite family and friends to participate, and all the donations in memory of an individual will be combined for the memorial scholarship.

When a loved one passes away, families can designate Scholarship Foundation of East Providence to receive memorial contributions. Memorial envelopes will be provided to the funeral home.

Since Scholarship Foundation of EP is a non-profit organization and all members are volunteers, 100% of your gift will be used for scholarships. All donations are tax deductible. Memorial scholarships can also be established at any time. Checks may be made payable to SF of East Providence and mailed to P.O. Box 154438, Riverside, RI 02915.
