Viola Sastavickas Scholarship

The family of Viola Sastavickas made a donation to the Morrill Memorial Library in 2007 in order to create a permanent scholarship in the amount of $500. This scholarship was to be awarded annually to a current or former library employee or library volunteer for one of the following purposes: undergraduate or graduate school, a formal course of study, or an enrichment opportunity (continuing education).
This scholarship has been awarded ten times since 2007: (Elizabeth Porter, 2007; Lauren Bailey, 2008; Carolyn Bradley, 2009; Jillian Goss, 2010; Samantha Sherburne, 2011; Odhran O’Carroll, 2012; Laura Hogan, 2013; Hallie Miller, 2014; Maureen Riordan, 2015 and Chloe Belanger, 2016.) The scholarship will once again be awarded in 2017 thanks to continued generosity by the Sastavickas Family.
Viola Sastavickas was a life-long resident of Norwood and used the library frequently. According to her daughter Kathy the scholarship is “a fitting tribute to our beautiful mother and to the library and staff who treated her with great respect and affection.”
An application for the Viola Sastavickas Scholarship is available at the library and on the library's website (search: Sastavickas Scholarship). For more information, contact Charlotte Canelli, 781-769-0200, ext 101. Applications are due by Monday, May 15. The scholarship will be awarded by June 30.
