Guarino Memorial Scholarship, The Francis W. \u201cFran\u201d Cleary, Jr. Memorial Scholarship, The Colleen Ritzer Memorial Scholarship, The Kathy Proietti Memorial Scholarship, and the Matthew W. Poth Memorial Scholarship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEstablishing a scholarship can be a very appropriate way of honoring an individual,\u201d said Poth. \u201cA scholarship also is a very effective way of giving back to the community since the great majority of our students are from the Merrimack Valley.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To establish a permanent endowed scholarship, donors must make a minimum donation of $10,000.
