About The East Cambridge Scholarship Fund

It all started when…

30 years ago local residents and the developers of the CambridgeSide Galleria had a shared vision to help East Cambridge residents fulfill their education goals beyond the high school level. With an initial donation of $250,000, The East Cambridge Scholarship Fund (ECSF) was established.

As news of the scholarship program reached the community, subsequent donations followed. Today, this generous spirit lives on and continues to serve the community. Annually, the ECSF is able to award financial scholarships to deserving residents of any age as they pursue degrees from two- or four-year colleges, graduate school, or technical or vocational programs.

The Board

The ECSF is administered by an elected, volunteer board of dedicated East Cambridge residents. Due to the diligence of the Board, the Fund has awarded over 600+ scholarships while maintaining an annual operating budget of less than 0.2% of its total endowment.

The East Cambridge Scholarship Fund demonstrates the power of collaboration between residents and businesses. By working together to make education accessible to all, we believe we can make significant impact in our community and in the lives of East Cambridge residents. Please join us!
