The Bay State Games is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the 2019 Future Leaders Scholarship Program. This marks the thirty-first year of this valuable scholarship program that recognizes the leaders of tomorrow who excel in academics, community service, and athletics. The scholarship program is available to any Massachusetts High School student who is currently in grade 11 as of the 2018-2019 school year and participates in the Bay State Summer or Winter Games. Six two-thousand dollar scholarships will be awarded to the top applicants. 

“Bay State Games is proud to provide valuable college scholarships to student-athletes representing high schools and communities from across Massachusetts,” said Bay State Games Executive Director, Kevin Cummings. “Past recipients have exhibited outstanding accomplishments in academics, community service, leadership, and athletics. I encourage all Bay State Games Summer and Winter Games participants currently in their junior year of high school to apply for this scholarship.”

Candidates must submit their application information by June 5, 2019. The selection process will begin with a review of each applicant’s personal statements, written recommendations, and transcripts. A number of students will then be selected for regional interviews which will be conducted June 17-19. At the conclusion of regional interviews, six statewide scholarship winners will be announced.
