Judges: The Board of Directors of Maloney Properties, Inc.

The scholarship judges are interested in you as an individual. Whatever special interests or abilities you have, special things you have done, or special hopes or plans you have for the future will help them to understand you as a person. Your statement should give them enough information about you to distinguish you from other applicants. Your recommendations from other people are also important in this regard.

Take inventory of your activities and accomplishments. Have you been active in a community organization, student government, a political campaign, or an organization involved in environmental or other social concerns? Have you won an award, been elected to an office? Have you participated in a religious group, an athletic team, a hobby or social club? Have you served as a tutor, started your own business, held a job that taught you an important skill? Have you written an article, a poem, a piece of music? Have you drawn cartoons or illustrations, painted a picture, taken photographs, made handicraft items, designed clothing, built equipment of some kind? Have you performed publicly in instrumental or vocal music, dance, or the theater–or directed others who did? Have you built a scientific apparatus, conducted a scientific experiment, collected scientific specimens, worked out original solutions to problems? These are just examples of the types of activities–coupled with what you have to say about your goals–that can help to show the judges on paper who you really are.  Please ask at least two persons other than relatives who know you well to write letters of recommendation. They can accompany your application or be sent separately to the same address. Submit your application, with all accompanying information, no later than 5:00 p.m. on April 22, 2008 to:  Ms. Lisa Pelrine, Scholarship Administrator, Maloney Properties, Inc., 27 Mica Lane, Wellesley, MA   02481
