F.O.S.C. Invitation to Shrewsbury Crew Seniors to Apply for 2025 Scholarship & Essay Awards
Attention all Senior Shrewsbury Crew Rowers!
In recognition of the excellent work each team member does, F.O.S.C. invites and encourages:
- Every Senior Female who is participating in the Shrewsbury Crew program to apply for the Barbara Grant Donahue Essay Award and the Caron & Krause Family Scholarship.
- Every Senior Male who is participating in the Shrewsbury Crew program to apply for the Irving James Donahue Jr. Memorial Essay Award and the Kenneth F. Burns Memorial Scholarship.
Each essay award is $250 and the Kenneth F. Burns Memorial Scholarship and the Caron & Krause Family Scholarship are $500 each. The FOSC Scholarship committee will consist of coaches and FOSC members who do not have a senior athlete. This committee will help determine the scholarship and essay awards for senior applicants.
Applications available online at https://shrewsburycrew.org/2025-fosc-scholarships
Links to the applications can be found below.
Completed applications, transcripts and Letters of Recommendation should be submitted to the SHS School Guidance office (B203) by Wednesday, April 16, 2025. Be sure to place the completed applications in a sealed envelope with FOSC and your name printed clearly on the front.
One essay only! Every senior applying for an essay award is considered for the Kenneth F. Burns Memorial Scholarship or Caron & Krause Family Scholarship IF the second application is also completed. Each senior needs to write only one essay which will be used to determine both the recipients for the essay awards and the recipient for the scholarship. Essay length is limited to 300-650 words.
