| Named for a past President of the Bank, the
intention of the scholarship fund is to give
expression and support to Mr. Woodward's special
concerns. He believed in the success of the average
student, especially those interested in banking
and related fields, who have had to overcome
significant financial limitations. These concerns
were reflected throughout his own life in which
his dedication and perseverance led to his many
achievements.
Robert Nazarro , 2007 2nd Place Winner
In evaluating scholarship applications, the
Committee gives primary consideration to students
who meet the following criteria:
- Grade average
in the B-C range;
- The intention to study banking, business,
finance, accounting or related fields;
- Financial need
based on total family circumstances (income,
number of children in college, financial
burdens, etc.); and
- Volunteer activities and community involvement
The applicants character, personality and dedication
to do their best, combined with voluntary service,
school activities and standing in the community
will also be considered. While these are the
primary considerations, they do not restrict
other students from being selected so long as
they meet the following eligibility requirements:
- High school and preparatory school seniors
with a minimum GPA of 2.0 who have applied to
a two or four year college as a full-time student.
- Applicants must reside in one of the following communities:
Everett, Malden, Medford, Revere, or
Lexington for at least (5) consecutive years.
Applications are now available and can be
found at local libraries, at high school
and preparatory school guidance offices and at
all Eagle Bank locations. Applications are also
available in pdf format for download. Applications
must be postmarked by the date on the application.
All information requested on the application
MUST be furnished or the application
will be disqualified.
Finalists are invited to a personal interview
with the Committee on a date in May of each year
(TBA), and the winner is announced thereafter.
