The Samuel B. Beale Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship is dedicated to honoring the memory of Samuel B. Beale, a student whose promising journey was tragically cut short by an automobile accident during his sophomore year at Rider University. Samuel graduated from Roxbury High School in 2022, where his involvement spanned across various domains, including the cross country, track, golf, and robotics teams.
The Samuel B. Beale Memorial Scholarship aims to celebrate unsung heroes among Roxbury High School's graduating seniors. It seeks not the top athlete or academic achiever, but rather the individual who exemplifies dedication and perseverance, consistently working behind the scenes to make the lives of those around them better.
Deadline: May 15, 2024
Applications can be turned in to Mrs. Osterman in the Guidance Dept.

Dedicated to addressing a critical national shortage by bolstering the pipeline of future language educators, this award provides merit-based scholarships to graduating high school seniors committed to pursuing the language teaching profession in languages other than English.
Supporting Future Language Educators:

Teacher Scholars also receive complimentary ACTFL membership—which includes access to the ACTFL Mentoring Program aimed at early-career language educators—during their participation in the program as well as for one year following graduation and entry into the teaching field.

The Walter J. Travis Memorial Scholarship
The Walter J. Travis Memorial Scholarship is an annual award given since 2009 to honor the remarkable accomplishments and contributions of Walter J. Travis in the game of golf. In his pioneering career, Travis was a champion amateur golfer, esteemed golf course architect, innovative turf grass expert, and prolific golf journalist. He was founder and editor of one of the most influential golf magazines of his time, The American Golfer. We encourage applicants to explore this site to learn more about Walter J. Travis, in whose honor this scholarship program was established.
STRUCTURE. APPLICATION GUIDELINES, AND CRITERIA FOR SELECTION:
The Travis Society’s Scholarships are awarded to students pursuing a career in one of the following professions: landscape design/golf course architecture; golf course turf grass management/golf course superintendent; professional golf management, club professional, or sports journalism with a special interest in golf.
In addition, we will give serious consideration to outstanding amateur high school/college/university golfers for our scholarship awards, based on their competitive record as an amateur golfer, and criteria listed below (with exception of career goals). Amateur golfer applicants do not need to be pursuing a career in a golf related industry.
One of our scholarships is awarded in honor of Rudy Zocchi, a long-time Travis Society member who devoted much of the last years of his life to researching Walter J. Travis. We are forever grateful to Rudy for the countless significant contributions he made to our knowledge of Walter J. Travis. Our large collection of Travis literature and memorabilia is largely the result of Rudy’s dedicated and diligent efforts.
Applicants for The Walter J. Travis Memorial Scholarship must present evidence of being enrolled/matriculated as a full-time undergraduate or graduate student at an accredited two- or four-year college/university, for the following Fall semester.
The following criteria will be used to evaluate the merit of all scholarship applications:
- Overall quality of application materials, including thoroughness and clarity of information provided, current references/recommendations, and an essay that reflects a good understanding and appreciation of the instructions.
- Academic record
- Involvement in golf-related interests and activities.
- Career goals (Not applicable for students who are applying in the category of “amateur golfer”) that are consistent with the goals of this scholarship program.
- Extracurricular activities, including volunteer work with student/community organizations; participation in sports and community affairs; jobs held; special interests, and hobbies. We are impressed with those students who have demonstrated a desire to “give back to their community” through volunteer activities.
- For those in the amateur golfer category, successful participation in competition.
Scholarship applications are independently reviewed by panelists who rate each applicant on the above criteria using an evaluation rating system designed to objectify the evaluations as much as possible. The panelists submit their top 6-10 (depending on size of field) applicants to the Scholarship Chairman who identifies the winners, based on their overall ranking.
Award: $1,000
Number of Awards: Five awards.
