Each year the Bedford Women’s Club offers scholarships to young men and young women who are high school seniors and residents of Bedford. Our Club scholarship is named after its 1944 president, Josephine Fearon, a former guidance counselor at West High School in Manchester. The Club’s annual fundraising activities make these awards possible.

Awards are based on academic accomplishment, a 400 word essay, school and community activities and service and a letter of recommendation. Applications must be received by March 15.
