Forty-one Wareham students have received the Commonwealth’s John and Abigail Adams Scholarship awards — earning the students free tuition at any Massachusetts state college or university.

“We are very proud of the accomplishment our 41 students have earned,” said Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Shaver-Hood. “This is an example of how what one does today affects one's future pathway.”

Of the 41 students, 40 are members of the Wareham High School Class of 2015. The remaining scholar attended the Wareham Cooperative School.

In order to receive the award, a student must score “Advanced” on either the English or math MCAS in Grade 10, and “Proficient” or “Advanced” in the second subject. Additionally, the student’s combined MCAS score must rank in the top 25 percent in the district.

“We are very proud of what the 40 John and Abigail Adams Scholars have accomplished at Wareham High School,” said Wareham High School Principal Scott Palladino. “If utilized, the scholarship could equate to $7,500 off of each student’s tuition during their four years in college.”

The students will be honored at an upcoming School Committee meeting.
