PUTNAM --- Graduating high school senior Gabrielle Robinson has been awarded a Cumberland Farms Believe and Achieve Scholarship of $1,000 towards her college expenses. Robinson plans to attend Fordham University and study business management in the fall.
This is the fourth year that Cumberland Farms awarded the scholarships to promising students across its service area. As part of the company’s Corporate Giving Initiative, the Believe and Achieve Scholarship is open to students entering college and who live within 30 miles of any Cumberland Farms outlet in the Northeast and Florida. While the initiative takes academic performance into account, the award also considers the student’s financial need.
“Today’s high school graduates should focus on their educations and not have to worry about financial obligations,” said Cumberland Farms President Ari Haseotes. “We are proud that our Believe and Achieve program can support more than 100 college-bound students, which will help defray the cost of tuition or ease the costs for books.”
The application period is currently closed. The company will begin accepting applications for the graduation Class of 2011 in the fall. Eligible high school seniors are encouraged to visit www.cumberlandfarms.com, as well as any Cumberland Farms’ store location for further information.
