College Scholarships

Every year CPS awards two $1,500 college scholarships to high school seniors. One is awarded to a student who is a Charlestown resident, and the other to a Charlestown High School senior who does not need to be a Charlestown resident.

Part of the application process involves writing a short essay on ways that Charlestown has influenced the student's life. You can read some of the winning essays by clicking on the link below.

You can download more details and a scholarship application below.

This information can also be obtained from the Charlestown Branch Library and the Charlestown Boys and Girls Club.
