The Brewster Ponds Coalition provides scholarship awards for the purpose of encouraging students to pursue an education and career related to the organization's mission.
|
The Brewster Ponds Coalition awards two scholarship awards to graduating seniors from Cape Cod Regional Technical High School (CCRTHS) and/or Nauset Regional High School (NRHS) that are pursuing further education in a field that is aligned with the mission of the organization. The BPC believes that it is important to support students who are choosing to further their education in ways that will lead to the protection of our environment.
Examples of fields of study are:

Further education can be an apprenticeship, work/study program, internship, alternative study program, certificate program, two-year college degree program, or four-year college degree program.
Students are eligible to apply for the scholarship if they are seniors at CCRTHS or NRHS and have an overall GPA of 3.0 or above. The Award
Each scholarship award for 2026 is $2,000. The recipients will receive a check directly from the BPC to use towards their continuing education programs. Awards are generally awarded in mid-June.
