HHS Class of 1961 Scholarship

Our proposal to create an HHS ’61 Scholarship has been approved and accepted by the Town of Hingham Treasurer and the Hingham Scholarship Committee.  Our first scholarship will be awarded in the Spring to a member of the HHS class of 2027.  The description of the HHS ‘61 Scholarship as it will appear in the students’ Graduation Booklet is:

THE HINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1961 SCHOLARSHIP is awarded to a Hingham High School senior who will attend an accredited trade school, a 2-year community college or a 4-year college/university for outstanding service to his/her high school class, to Hingham High School itself, or to the Hingham community. The scholarship commemorates both our fond memories of HHS and the many contributions to HHS by the members of the class of 1961.

The Scholarship Committee requires that a new scholarship have at least $5,000 in committed, initial funding.  Eight classmates generously committed and contributed $6,000 to meet that requirement for the HHS ’61 Scholarship.

HHS ’61 classmates (and friends) can now contribute additional funding for the HHS ’61 Scholarship at any time as follows:

·       Write a check, payable to the “Town of Hingham Scholarship Fund”, for the amount you are donating.

·       Add “for HHS Class of 1961 Scholarship” as a note on the check.

·       Mail the check with your contact information to:

Tax Collector

Town of Hingham

210 Central Street

Hingham, MA 02043

·       If you would like your name added to the list of HHS ’61 Scholarship donors on the HHS ’61 website, send an email regarding your donation to

hhs-61@outlook.com.  Note that neither the Treasurer nor the Scholarship Committee will notify us of your donation.

All donations to the “HHS Class of 1961 Scholarship” fund are tax deductible.  And, your contribution is deductible in addition to the Standard Deduction if that is how you file your tax return (see the background notes for additional information).
