GFWC of Massachusetts Memorial Education Fellowship
Offered by General Federation of Women's Clubs of Massachusetts
About This Scholarship
The Memorial Education Fellowship is the flagship graduate award in the GFWC of Massachusetts scholarship program, listed at a minimum of $3,000 — the largest starting amount on the federation's 2027 scholarship slate. It supports graduate study in economics or finance, and finalists are interviewed before the award is made.
The General Federation of Women's Clubs is one of the oldest women's volunteer service organizations in the United States, and its Massachusetts federation has used this fellowship to back advanced study for decades. Like every GFWC Massachusetts scholarship, it requires applicants to maintain legal residence in Massachusetts, and the March 1, 2027 due date is strictly enforced.
Applications are downloadable PDF forms on the federation's scholarships page, each with its own coordinator contact. Graduate students in economics or finance who want a substantial award with a genuinely local applicant pool should have this on their March list.
