FITCHBURG, Mass. – Applewild School is pleased to announce several scholarship opportunities for prospective students entering grades four through seven for the upcoming 2018-19 school year.

Applewild seeks bright and motivated applicants interested in applying for the following scholarships:

The newly established Jennifer Martin Cloutier ’83 Scholarship seeks to assist a student entering the sixth, seventh or eighth grade with demonstrated financial need. The recipient will be a high achiever in English/language arts and possess strong writing skills. Jennifer Martin Cloutier ’83 and her husband, David Cloutier, are delighted to establish this new scholarship.

“It was as an Applewild student that I first learned about the importance of public service and civic responsibility. Throughout my life, I have relied on the lessons I learned there,” said Jennifer Cloutier. “I am grateful for the dedicated teachers and strong foundation I received at Applewild, and I would not be who I am today without them. Through the scholarship program, we are able to give back and make the Applewild experience a reality for future generations.”

AppleCore Scholarships are available to prospective students entering grades four through seven. Scholarships are offered in each of three areas: Middlesex County, Worcester County and New Hampshire.
