The Village Bank to award $50,000 in college scholarships - deadline is April 3

Newton, MA Joseph De Vito, president and CEO of The Village Bank said that the Auburndale Community Charitable Foundation is accepting college scholarship applications from local high school seniors.

The seventeen scholarships totaling $50,000 will be awarded to college-bound students of the Class of 2023. The recipients can apply the scholarship funds toward tuition, room and board, or supplies at an accredited college or university. The application deadline is April 3, 2023.

The Foundation will award two $10,000 scholarships and fifteen $2,000 scholarships. The $10,000 scholarship recipients are required to have demonstrated active involvement in community and/or charitable causes, in a leadership capacity, in addition to academic achievement. Eligible Newton or Wayland residents will be considered for both award categories. Applicants who do not reside in Newton or Wayland will be considered for the $2,000 awards.

“The Village Bank has a strong commitment to supporting the community we live in and initiatives that impact our friends and neighbors,” said De Vito. “We are excited to support and recognize students in the community as they work towards their goals.”

Complete rules, requirements, and application forms are available online at village-bank.com.

The Auburndale Community Charitable Foundation’s investment in education since the program began in 1998 will total more than $1 million with this year’s awards, according to De Vito. The scholarships are funded in part by the Annual Golf Classic held by The Village Bank each fall.

The Village Bank, chartered by the state in 1910, has eight full-service offices in Newton and Wayland and a Village Loan Center in Upper Falls. The Bank offers online banking services at village-bank.com and maintains a Facebook presence at facebook.com/villagebank.

The Bank is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Depositors Insurance Fund (DIF).
