Main Street Community Foundation is accepting applications for The Craig Yarde Scholarship Fund from residents of Bristol who are graduating high school seniors, currently enrolled students, or adult learners seeking financial assistance for further post-secondary education or career training goals. One $5,000 scholarship will be awarded.

The deadline for all application submissions is March 10, 2023. A full list of scholarships available, their eligibility criteria and links to the online application are available on the Foundation website, www.mainstreetfoundation.org/apply-for-scholarship.

Established in 2022, The Craig Yarde Scholarship Fund honors the memory of Craig Yarde, a well-known community leader and the co-founder of Yarde Metals, Inc., which began in Bristol in 1976. Craig personified entrepreneurial spirit, continual learning and self-achievement, and his family established this scholarship to inspire students who have the same work ethic and passion he displayed throughout his lifetime.

If you have any questions or would like more information on applying for this and other scholarships, contact Samantha Rajotte, Scholarship & Program Officer, at 860.583.6363 or samantha@mainstreetfoundation.org.
