    About this scholarship

    This scholarship program was established to honor the memory of a lifelong Sutton resident and chemist. It is designed to assist graduating seniors from Sutton High School who are preparing to transition to higher education. Candidates should demonstrate a strong commitment to their community through active volunteer service, show academic promise, and have documented financial need. While open to various paths, the selection process places a strong preference on students who intend to pursue future careers in chemistry, environmental sciences, or other STEM-related disciplines.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
