Scholarships are awarded annually to students who are the children or grandchildren of current Mitchell Memorial Club members (in good standing). These scholarships are competitive and determinations are made based on class rank, teacher recommendation, and student involvement in co-curricular activities such as active school citizenship, athletics, performing arts and clubs.

The M.M.C Scholarship Committee is solely responsible for selecting the recipients and the number of scholarships awarded for 2021 will be determined by the pool of eligible and qualified applicants. Students who do receive an award may apply again and those students who receive awards should note that these are “once only”.

Applications need to be picked up at the Mitchell Memorial Club by a club member who is the parent or grandparent of the applicant and are available beginning March 1, 2021. This application needs to be fully completed and returned to the M.M.C. prior to 7:00 P.M. on April 20, 2021. When submitted, application materials should be clearly marked to the “Attention: M.M.C. Scholarship Committee”. Please also note that incomplete applications will not be considered.

TRAVIS ALBERT – CIRCLE OF FRIENDS SCHOLARSHIP 2021

In memory of our son/brother, Travis Albert, this scholarship will be awarded to one or more graduating senior(s) from the Class of 2021. Travis was a student and friend to many in the Middleborough & Lakeville communities. He passed away in 2006 from a very rare and debilitating illness known as Batten Disease. Travis left a lifetime of memories during his 13 years with us, had it not been for the love and support of his friends and family this would not have been possible. Herein lies the reason for this Scholarship Trust; to carry on his memory and to give back some of what was given so generously to Travis and his family. This scholarship was presented for the first time to the “Class of 2011”, which would have been Travis’ graduating class. It is our dream to continue this tradition every year hereafter. Travis taught us all to Hope and Believe and that living a “Life of Quality” is one of the most important lessons to learn.
