Andona Society offering five $2,000 scholarships

The Andover Townsman

Five Andover high-schoolers will earn $2,000 from the Andona Society to help them with their college costs.

This year, the Andona Society will award the scholarships to five high school graduates of the Class of 2013 whose legal, primary residence is in Andover. One of these awards will be designated as a 766 PAC scholarship.

Seniors attending Andover High School, Greater Lawrence Technical School or a private school are eligible to apply. These scholarships are for one year only and are to be applied to the recipient's first year of post high school education.

Applications are now available at the Andover High School guidance office, or online at the Andona website (andona.org), or the Memorial Hall Library website (mhl.org/andover). All applications must be postmarked by April 1, 2013.

For more information on the Andona Society, the group perhaps best known for running the town carnival known as ClownTown, visit andona.org.
