Parker Scholarship
The Reverend Robert B. Parker Memorial Fund is intended to promote “in Scouts, …through the ‘Local Council,’ the ability of Scouts to do things for themselves and for others, to train them in Scoutcraft, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues.” The fund was established through a trust in 1939 by Sarah Parker, Reverend Parker’s widow and a woman of wealthy means. It was her desire to honor her late husband for his great commitment and interest in the youth of the St. Michael’s Episcopal parish in Marblehead, as well as with all youth in the community.
The application deadline is May 15, 2023.
