Scholarship available for community service

Tuesday, February 5, 2013

The Michael J. Carbonneau Community Service Scholarship application is now available. Applications can be found at local area high schools and at the Bedford Public Library. Applicants should submit an application and a short essay detailing their community service and its impact.

This scholarship is in memory of Michael Carbonneau, who passed away in 2005. Carbonneau was past-president of the Bedford Men’s Club, president of the Bedford Girls Softball League and a member of the Bedford Parks and Recreation Board at the time of his death. An avid volunteer, this scholarship will uphold his memory and give two $500 scholarships to deserving graduating seniors (one male, one female) from Bedford who epitomize his spirit of volunteerism.

Please send applications to Marie Toole, 20 River Birch Circle, Manchester, NH 03102. Deadline is April 15.
