“Congratulations to the 2022 scholarship recipients and thanks to all of the students who applied for consideration,” said Committee Chair Tyler Carlton. “The pool of applicants this year was very competitive. It speaks highly of the quality, potential, and accomplishments of Salem’s youth. The Scholarship and Education Committee is grateful to the many Salem residents who have donated to the fund, making these scholarships possible. I would like to encourage all our community’s residents and businesses consider donating to the Scholarship Fund or the Education Fund, so the Committee can continue to support these important efforts. You can donate online at www.salem.com/scholarship by clicking on the blue Donate button.”

“My congratulations to the twelve Salem students who were awarded a scholarship this year,” said Mayor Kim Driscoll. “And thank you to the members of the Scholarship and Education Committee who volunteer their time and energy for this important City program and to the many donors who make these scholarships possible. In Salem we support our students in their academic careers, and we approach education as a community mission. The work of the Scholarship and Education Committee is a furtherance of that important effort.”

The Scholarship and Education Funds were established in 1987 and are largely funded through small donations by Salem taxpayers on their tax bills. Donations to both Funds are entirely tax-deductible and 100% of all donations go directly to scholarship and grant recipients. Funding support also comes from grants and gifts from businesses, foundations, and others in the community. The Scholarship Fund provides educational financial aid to Salem students going on to higher education and the Education Fund provides supplemental educational funding for local educational needs. Scholarships are awarded annually and Education Fund grants on a rolling basis through the year.
