MassNetComms Technical Scholarship Program

The Mass Network Communications Council created the Technical Scholarship Fund in 1998. The goal of the fund is to recognize and reward students who demonstrate scholastic aptitude, leadership skills and technical achievements, and to encourage them in their pursuit of a technical degree from a Massachusetts university, college or technical school. With the scholarship, the MassNetComms is looking to entice recipients to remain in the Bay State after graduation.

Students who are part of the Scholarship program do not just receive a monetary award; they have the opportunity to meet today’s successful telecom executives and learn in depth about the industry through their insights and MassNetComms educational programs. These experiences help the future leaders of our industry gain insight into the opportunities and challenges that lay ahead.

How Can You Help?

A significant portion of the MassNetComms Education Fund's support comes from our scholarship golf tournament. The tournament offers companies and individuals excellent networking opportunities, along with a fun day of golf that raises money for a good cause. There are several sponsorship opportunities for this event that is held annually in September. If golf is not your game, we encourage you to make a direct contribution to the Fund. The Fund is a 501c3 non profit and all donations are tax deductible. Contact Amy Goggins at amy@massnetcomms.org, or 781-684-0880 for more information on sponsorships or direct contributions.
