Article 8

Scholarship Fund

Text of 2011 Town Warrant Article 8

This article raises and appropriates $2,000 for the Town of Raymond Scholarship Fund for Raymond High School graduating seniors and Raymond residents attending the first year of college. Raymond High School students apply through the school office; others apply at Town Hall. The Board of Selectmen appoints two Selectmen to review the applications and make recommendations. Recipients are chosen by the Board of Selectmen who also determine the amount of each scholarship. (The last few years, the Board has given two $1,000 scholarships.) Tax cost: $0.002 per $1,000 of tax valuation (same as last year).¹

A YES vote will add $2,000 to the Scholarship Fund.

A NO vote will not fund the Scholarship Fund this year.

Reasons why some voters might vote yes or no: Self-explanatory.
