McLaughlin-Wilson Scholarship

The McLaughlin-Wilson Scholarship is a financial aid program administered by the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation. This scholarship is designed to support local students from the foundation's service region who are pursuing higher education. It helps recipients cover the costs associated with attending an accredited college or university, such as tuition and other educational expenses.

To be considered for this award, applicants must complete the foundation's online application process. While the provider evaluates candidates based on their academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, and community service, students should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to demonstrate their financial need, as this is a standard component of the foundation's review process. The annual application cycle opens at the beginning of the year, and all required materials must be submitted by the deadline of March 15.
