DOVER, N.H.—February 28, 2023— This year, in celebration of Dover’s 400th anniversary, the Dover 400 Committee seeks to award scholarships to four Dover-resident 2023 graduating seniors who have demonstrated a strong commitment to their Dover community. Students will be awarded according to their outstanding leadership in community service within the Dover community or in their school community and also their commitment to scholastic achievement. Committee organizers believe it is essential to lead by example and serve one’s community. We hope to encourage others, particularly students, to do the same.
The Dover 400 scholarships will be awarded to the four students whose essays best describe their experience and commitment to community service, and how that experience has affected, and will be relevant, in their academic career. One $1,623.00 Scholarship will be awarded city-wide, plus three additional $400.00 scholarships to one student at each of these three schools: Dover High School, St. Thomas Aquinas High School, and Portsmouth Christian Academy.
Applications may be downloaded from the Dover400.org website. Students are encouraged to print a copy, compose an essay of 1,000 words or less, and submit it, by mail, to: Dover400, c/o Kevin McEneaney, 24 Chestnut Street, Dover, NH 03820. Completed applications must be received by 5:00pm on Friday, April 7, 2023 to be considered.
For more information or questions, please call 603-498-1307. The mission of the Dover400 Committee is to honor our past, celebrate our present, and to inspire our future through meaningful and creative community engagement.
