Stoneham Chamber 2020 Scholarships

The Stoneham Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Committee is pleased to open the 2020 scholarship application period for high school graduating seniors. These scholarships are funded through the generosity of our Chamber members who underwrite programs such as this scholarship program, the Summer Concert Series, Town Day, the annual Tree Lighting and many other events.

The Chamber currently offers three $1,000 scholarships. The Kathleen E. Bray and John F. Mahoney Jr. scholarships are limited to Chamber members in good standing and their employees, children and grandchildren, as well as their employees children and grandchildren. The Business Scholarship is open to all graduating seniors who reside in Stoneham.

  • The Kathleen E. Bray Scholarship:  Kathleen E. Bray was instrumental in the founding of the Chamber in 1984.

  • The John F. Mahoney, Jr. Scholarship: John F. (‘Jack’) Mahoney, Jr. was the owner of J.F. Mahoney & Sons, Inc. and held strong personal and business ties with the Chamber of Commerce.
