The Andover Service Club is pleased to announce that the application process for the 2013 scholarship awards has begun. Awards are based on academic performance, character attributes, and community involvement, and not on financial need.

Graduating seniors and adults entering or continuing their education at a college, professional, or technical school are eligible to apply. Scholarship applications are available at the Andover Elementary/Middle School, Proctor Academy, Merrimack Valley High School, the Andover Service Club Thrift Shop, and online.

To be eligible for a scholarship, applicants must have a close tie to the Town of Andover. Details of the requirements are available in the application packet.

All applications and supporting material must be postmarked by May 1 in order for the application to be considered.
