2021 Grant awards
This year Scituate Education Foundation was pleased to receive a total of twenty-four proposals. Collectively, they reflected our mission to promote diverse lifelong learning opportunities in Scituate. Individually, the applications were creative and thoughtfully crafted, making our task to select those to fund both challenging and rewarding. We are delighted to be able to invest over $40,000 in educational programming for the coming year. Since its inception, SEF has invested over $246,000 back to the community.
