The Community Scholarship Association of Granby (CSAG) has been awarding deserving graduating high school seniors scholarships since 1958. CSAG has awarded more than $650,000 in scholarships to nearly 400 college-bound Granby Memorial seniors, making a significant impact on their young lives.
CSAG has been performing this service while managing contributions of all kinds, but particularly funds from a Holcomb Family Endowment and annual fundraising in conjunction with The Granby Road Race.
Applicants must be Granby residents who are soon-to-be high school graduates accepted at an institution of higher learning approved by the selection committee. Additional scholarships take into consideration need, initiative, character, responsibility and higher than average involvement in the Granby community.
With continually rising costs of a college education, CSAG asks former scholarship recipients, as well as the Granby community, to please consider making tax-deductible contributions to CSAG so that the organization can award more scholarships and provide more substantial awards. Checks should be made out to CSAG and mailed to Ted Cormier, 12 Silkey Road, West Granby, CT 06090.
Scholarship applications are available online through Naviance, at the College and Career Center or through the high school guidance counselor. Completed applications should be submitted to Mrs. Caruso in the GMHS counseling office no later than May 1.
