Scholarship Recipients

Meet This Year’s Scholarship Recipients

The Cape Cod Foundation was established in 1989 with a single $10,000 scholarship.  In 2023, we awarded more than $900,000 in scholarships to 150 local students to pursue degrees or certificate programs. More than 20% of our recipients are first-generation college students. In 2023, our partner, the Cape Cod Association, awarded an additional $503,500 in heritage scholarships to 337 students who were born on and currently reside on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, or Nantucket.

Together, we provided over $1.4 million in scholarship support to members of our community!

We celebrated this milestone at a reception for scholarship donors, volunteers, and recipients Spring 2023, an additional opportunity to recognize the amazing achievements of our recipients and to thank everyone who makes this program possible.
