MELROSE—Even in these times of uncertainty, it’s important to think about the future. Melrose Little League is proud to again offer the annual scholarship to a graduating high school senior and a Melrose Little League alumni.

Melrose Little League seeks to implant firmly in the children of Melrose the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage, teamwork and respect for authority through wholesome and effective leadership in the disciplines of baseball so that they may be well adjusted, stronger, happier children and will grow to be good, decent, healthy and trustworthy citizens. In an effort to recognize those children who have been members of Melrose Little League and who have continued to demonstrate a commitment to our Melrose community, while advancing their education and the ideals of our League, a one-time scholarship in the amount of $1,000.00 will be awarded to two eligible and deserving student scholarship applicants. Scholarship funds must be applied toward future tuition (higher education and/or professional certification or licensing) and directly related fees and costs. All qualified high school seniors are encouraged to apply.
