The Belmont Education Scholarship Committee was established under MGL 60 §3C by the April 1995 Town Meeting. The Education Scholarship Committee awards scholarships to residents of Belmont who are pursuing higher education. Awards are based on the applicants’ financial need, academic achievement, community involvement and school activities. The Committee also makes an annual award to the Belmont Public Schools. Funding is provided by Belmont taxpayers’ contributions to the voluntary Education and Scholarship check-offs on Belmont's real
estate, personal property and motor vehicle excise tax bills.
The 2003 Town of Belmont Scholars are: Rebecca Cudmore, Sybil Fetter, Susanna Fleites, Leora Fridman, Hanna Ghaleb, Kara Guillory, Sarah Halberstadt, Emily Hurwitz, Shauna Penta, Richard Zhang, Amy Zhou, and Rachelle Zolfonoon. The awards totaled $3,300. $5,000 was awarded from the Education Fund to fund technology needs in the Belmont Public Schools.
During FY03 $8,794 was contributed to the Education Fund and $3,479 to the Scholarship Fund. Any funds not disbursed in a given year are held over and invested for use in subsequent years.
Respectfully submitted,
Susan Kendall Freiner (Ex-Officio), Town Treasurer, Chairman
