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.

Born on the Island in the early 20th century, Elmer Hobson DeLoura left to pursue a career after graduating with honors from the Edgartown High School and Pharmacy School in Boston.

Years later, Mr. DeLoura established the scholarship program that bears his name, managed by Scholarship America.

DeLoura scholarship awards are for undergraduate study only. Applications for the 2018 program are available from Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School or download and print the information from mvrhs.org/guidance-counseling/scholarships. Applications must be postmarked by March 15.
