First Church Scholarships

High school graduates who are members of the First Congregational Church of Harwich and their extended families are eligible to apply for a General Scholarship, or Continuing Education Scholarship if you have received one of our scholarships in the past. Residents of Harwich and members of the Pilgrim Congregational Church in Harwich Port are also eligible to apply.
