The Boosters are proud to support all of our students—whether on the field, ice, court, or in the stands. Since 2001, we have funded more than $248,000 in grants and awarded over $149,500 in scholarships. Best of all, 100% of every donation goes directly toward grants and scholarships that benefit our student-athletes.
Most grant requests are submitted through the Athletic Director and coaches, though we also welcome requests from students and other members of the Groton-Dunstable community. Scholarships are awarded each spring to graduating seniors, with selections based on athletic participation, academic achievement, and community service.
Thanks to your generosity, the Boosters have been able to make a meaningful impact on every team that has requested our support. Below is a summary of the major grants awarded to date.
Thank you for helping us continue this mission. We couldn’t do it without you. Go Crusaders!
