Scholarship — Hull Pride

The Hull Gay Pride Scholarship is awarded every year to a graduating high school senior in Hull, MA. The scholarship is awarded to students that “embody and further the values of Hull Pride: diversity and inclusion.” In the past, we have awarded scholarships to multiple graduates who meet these criteria.
