If You Would Like to Donate

In 2023, an alumnus approached the Board offering to sponsor full $1,000 scholarships for our graduating seniors. This led to other alumni offering to help, pledging funds to expand our Scholarship Program. All of these sponsors were acknowledged at our annual banquet and recognized for their generous contributions.

Their donations were noted in our banquet programs and attached to a specific scholarship. This expanded pool of funds allowed us to increase the number of scholarships awarded at our banquet.

This got us thinking… Are there still others looking to contribute, that would like to help our recent graduates to finance their post graduate studies or help with expenses should one decide to serve in the military?

Sponsors can be individuals, families, businesses, clubs, organizations or even an MHS Class. If interested, able to help, and this appeals to you, we offer full $1,000 scholarship sponsor opportunities.

Send your sponsorship donation to MHS Alumni Association, P.O. Box 230, Medway, MA 02053, and attach a note directing your contribution to the scholarships.

If this program does not interest you, anything you can give toward our General Scholarship Fund is greatly appreciated. Whatever you feel comfortable with giving will add to what we can give to our Seniors.
