The Ocean State Center for Independent Living (OSCIL) is accepting applications for the 2019 Catherine T. Murray Memorial Scholarship.
This scholarship was established in 1995 by Catherine who was a long-time educator and a board member and valued volunteer at the Ocean State Center for Independent Living. Her wish was to support the philosophy and spirit of OSCIL through a scholarship which would facilitate access to education for persons having disability.
Qualified applicants for this $1,000-plus scholarship must be Rhode Island residents with significant disability and seeking financial assistance to attend college or technical school. This can include enrollment in an academic, trade, or vocational program. This scholarship can be used toward the attainment of assistive/adaptive equipment or devices to access such educational opportunity as well as for other educational expenses. Preference is based on career goals, merit and economic need.
Applications are available at www.oscil.org or can be requested by sending an email to cmckenna Catherine T. Murray Memorial Scholarship,
c/o OSCIL, 1944 Warwick Avenue, Warwick, RI 02889, Attn: C. McKenna.
Applications must be postmarked by March 30, 2019. Incomplete applications cannot be considered. The Scholarship Committee will meet to choose these year’s scholarship recipients by mid-April. Applicants will be notified of their decision by email shortly thereafter.
For any questions concerning the application process, contact Carol McKenna by email at cmckenna@oscil.org or by calling 738-1013 ext. 20.
