BVT Scholarships & Awards:

$9+ Million in Student Scholarships Awarded

UPTON – The Blackstone Valley Vocational Regional School District is proud to announce its Class of 2025 Scholarship and Award Recipients.

As BVT’s newest graduates advance their career training, they do so with the assistance of awards with an estimated tally exceeding nine million in renewable value, which is a springboard for success, allowing its recipients the financial freedom to implement their career plans across various pathways.

“When it comes to putting their career plans in action, some students purchase new tools, clothing, and equipment while others use financial aid to cover tuition at colleges or universities,” said Superintendent-Director Dr. Michael F. Fitzpatrick. “The aid of scholarships and awards help our graduates move toward a bright future, whether directly out of high school or five years out, to contribute as well-trained, educated, and skilled members of the workforce.”
