Boston Globe Foundation/Richard J. Phelps  Scholar-Athlete Scholarship Program

FOR SENIORS

On April 12, 2024, the Boston Globe Foundation will open the application process for the 38th Boston Globe Foundation/Richard J. Phelps  Scholar-Athlete scholarship program.

The program, thanks to funds generously provided by the Foundation and Mr. Richard Phelps, is open to high school seniors. This year, 18 total scholarships valued at $4,000 apiece will be awarded to one male and one female from MIAA Districts 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, one male and one female from Central Mass. (Districts 2/3), and one male and female from the city of Boston. Also, with the enthusiastic support of Richard Phelps, again, we will also be selecting one male and one female from NEPSAC schools in Eastern Massachusetts. The scholarships will be awarded based on excellence in academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities, and will go directly toward each student’s post-secondary education.

Please have each of your candidates fill out the 2024 application and return it to the Boston Globe Foundation by Friday, May 10. Candidates must supply the required information with the application (official high school transcript and letter of recommendation from the principal, a guidance counselor/teacher, or a coach).
