2026 Tom Cosenzi Scholarship Now Open

Giving back to our community is at the heart of everything we do—and one of the most meaningful ways we continue that is through the Tom Cosenzi Scholarship.

Applications are now open for 2026. Graduating high school seniors across Hampshire, Hampden, and Franklin counties have the opportunity to apply for one of three $2,500 scholarships, supporting their next step—whether that’s a two-year college, four-year university, or trade school.

Created in memory of Thomas E. Cosenzi, this scholarship honors his legacy of generosity, leadership, and commitment to community. Since its inception, more than $65,000 has been awarded to students who demonstrate academic achievement, leadership, and meaningful community involvement.

Applicants are asked to submit a one-page essay sharing their goals and why they are deserving of the scholarship. Additional materials such as transcripts, resumes, and letters of recommendation are encouraged.

Applications are open through May 31 at 11:59 p.m.
