April 29, 2019 By admin

Application Deadline for Inaugural Award Fast Approaching Wednesday, May 15

    WATERTOWN — The deadline to apply for the inaugural George C. Boldt Scholarship is just two weeks away. Completed applications must be received at the Northern New York Community Foundation, 131 Washington St., Watertown, by Wednesday, May 15.

The scholarship is a one-year award of up to $5,000 with three scholarships awarded this year.

Scholarship recipients are chosen based on combined Regents scores, cumulative high school GPA, personal data, application essay scores and letters of recommendation.

About the George C. Boldt Scholarship

George C. Boldt with his three granddaughters, Clover, on his lap with Manuelita, and Louise, standing. Malcolm Goodridge, who is helping establish the scholarship, is the son of Louise and the great-grandson of Mr. Boldt.

     Following a summer 2017 family gathering at Boldt Castle, descendants of George C. Boldt, led by great-grandson Malcolm Goodridge, decided to create a permanent scholarship fund that would forever benefit students of the region. The Northern New York Community Foundation was selected to administer the scholarship. Scholarship recipients will be invited to Boldt Castle on Heart Island, where the scholarship awards will be presented.
