Eleanor and Nathan Berry Scholarship Fund

The Eleanor and Nathan Berry Scholarship Fund

The Eleanor and Nathan Berry Scholarship program supports well-rounded graduating high school seniors. Applicants should reside in Berlin, Farmington, New Britain, Newington, Plainville, or Southington in Connecticut. Students with a good academic record who are seeking a bachelor’s degree at a four-year college or university are welcome to apply. Special consideration is given to those planning careers in medicine or finance.

Scholarship funds can be used for tuition, room and board, books, or fees. If the scholarship is paid directly to the college or university, it must reduce the student’s loan or work-study obligations rather than any grants.

The purpose of this fund is to provide substantial financial assistance to help qualified students attend an accredited college or university for their undergraduate studies.
