Mission

The Framingham Fund’s mission is to promote the well being of Framingham, its people, and its businesses.

Description of the scholarship

The Framingham Fund Scholarship leverages the tremendous creativity, energy, and goodwill of Framingham High School students to fulfill the fund’s mission. We use a skills-based competition where students can win scholarships for their education, show  their skills off to employers, build a portfolio and do what they love – showing their love for Framingham.
