Malden High School seniors earn over $100,000 in Adams Scholarships

Top achievers eligible for free tuition at any Mass. state college or university

Nearly 100 Malden High School seniors – over 25 percent of the Class of 2024 – have qualified to receive free tuition at any and all of Massachusetts state colleges or universities in the 2024 college academic year. The John and Abigail Adams Scholarship is a merit-based program that provides a credit toward tuition for up to eight semesters of undergraduate education at a Massachusetts state college or university. For this scholarship, merit is based on student scores on the 10th grade Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) test. Malden High School Principal Chis Mastrangelo and Malden Public Schools Director of Guidance Erin Craven hosted the seniors at a breakfast ceremony on Tuesday morning honoring their achievement. “It is a tremendous honor for these students and a great help for their families as they navigate the college admissions and financial aid process,” Craven said.
