Applications for the 2020 Matthew Wallace Foundation Scholarship are now being accepted.
Application deadline has been extended to July 22, 2020
The Matthew Wallace Scholarship Fund was established in 2014. The mission of the scholarship is to provide financial tuition assistance to civic minded students enrolled in primary or secondary private schools.
The Matthew Wallace Foundation is a national, not–for–profit (501(c)3) organization founded in 2014 as a living memorial to perpetuate the memory of Matthew through the advancement of private education among students in need. The foundations goal is to award 22 scholarships annually to students who are as dynamic as Matthew and exhibits the following traits: humility, courage, camaraderie, community service and humanitarian interest. The quantity and amount of grants rewarded annually is based on donations to the foundation. As Matthew believed that grades were not a true barometer of ones potential, grades will not weigh in the grantees selection process.
