Nantucket Scholars

The Nantucket Scholar Program is now in its 18th year.   The program requires a six-month long review process.  This year’s process began with an informational assembly in November at the high school.  Seniors and their parents are invited to a presentation and information sheets are available along with an opportunity to ask questions. This year, the application will be online and includes one written essay, sections for extra-curricular activities, community service and academic honors, one confidential teacher recommendation and an employer recommendation and are due in January 2024. 

There is a five member review committee -  Tom Bresette - Chief Operating Officer at NGC and the Executive Director of the Nantucket Golf Club Foundation, Al Cunha - Owner & Operator of Le Languedoc Restaurant, Michael Cozort - former Superintendent Nantucket Public Schools, Grace Hull - Director of Member Services of Nantucket Golf Club, and Amy Lee - President & CEO of Nantucket Cottage Hospital. 

Each applicant has varied and unique qualities. The Nantucket Scholar can be anyone with the determination and drive to succeed academically, be socially conscientious and a leader among their peers.
