Scholarship ProgramWindham Foundation founder Dean Mathey was passionate about education. His commitment lives on through the Scholarship Program which, in over 40 years, has provided financial assistance to more than 6,700 Windham County students. In partnership with the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation, the Foundation annually selects qualified Windham County students from a pool of more than 350 applications. The average amount of an award for 2010 will be $1,000 per student and may be renewable. All awards are paid directly to the institution of study and not to the individual student. While most students enroll in traditional college level institutions, the Foundation occasionally provides support for individuals who attend a trade school with a certificate program. If you feel you qualify to be considered for a scholarship, you may file a Scholarship Application. There there are other requirements that need to be followed to complete the process, including transcript requests and the completion of financial aid forms.

For students currently attending college, a transcript of all college grades, through the Fall 2009 semester must be received. For students who are not currently enrolled in college, but who have some previous undergraduate credits, a transcript(s) of all college grades must be received. For students not graduating from high school in 2010, who do not have any college experience, a complete transcript of high school grades must be received. If your transcript does not accompany your application, please indicate from whom and when we can expect it. The transcript deadline is also March 1, 2010. You must follow the deadlines and procedures listed above even if you are delaying your entry into college until the Spring 2011 semester.
