Ideal Applicant

An organization that will receive scholarship disbursements on behalf of a graduating Middleborough High School student (primarily colleges/universities or scholarship-holding institutions).

Good Fit

  • Ability to receive scholarship funds on behalf of a named Middleborough High School graduate.
  • Records showing the award will support a student with the stated grade/need criteria.
  • Located in or commonly enrolling students from Massachusetts, especially Middleborough area.
  • Willingness to accept payment instructions tied to a specific student and school-mediated selection.

Geography

Restrictive

Observed giving is strongly state-focused: in 2023 about 85% of dollars and 85% of grants were to institutions in Massachusetts, with only one other state receiving awards.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The latest year shows 13 distinct recipient institutions (all scholarship recipients) and nine new recipients that year, indicating a broadly distributed set of independent colleges and universities.

New Applicants

Moderate

Behavior shows frequent turnover—9 new recipient organizations in the latest year—so new institutions can appear in the portfolio, but the selection and application route is school‑mediated and restricted to Middleborough High School graduates, which limits direct access for unfamiliar organizational applicants.
