Last year, it awarded $439,025 in scholarships. Applications can be downloaded from csfofwakefield.org. They are also available at the Wakefield High School guidance office, at the Beebe Memorial Library’s career room, at the Americal Civic Center, and in the guidance offices of the Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational School, and some area private and parochial schools.
