Vineyard residents attending or planning to attend an accredited two-or four-year college or university or vocational-technical school are eligible to participate in the Elmer Hobson DeLoura Memorial Scholarship program (Bank of America, trustee).

An honors graduate of the Edgartown High School, the late Elmer Hobson DeLoura later attended pharmacy school in Boston. He and his wife eventually settled in Cambridge. Following her death, he revisited Edgartown and established a scholarship program aimed at helping Martha’s Vineyard students further their education.

The scholarship awards are for undergraduate study only.

Applications for the 2016 program are available from the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School or the information can be downloaded or printed from www.mvrhs.org/guidance-counseling/scholarships.

All applications are submitted to Scholarship Management Services and must be postmarked by March 15, 2016.
