The Elmer Hobson DeLoura Memorial Scholarship Program is available to Vineyard residents pursuing an undergraduate degree at an accredited two- or four-year college or university, or vocational-technical school.
Elmer DeLoura was born in 1898, the son of an Azorean. After graduating from Edgartown High School, he went on to graduate with honors from the Pharmacy School in Boston. Years later, after the death of his wife, Elmer revisited Edgartown, and acting on a desire to help the students in his hometown further their education, he established the Elmer Hobson DeLoura Memorial Scholarship
Applications for the 2016 program are available from Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School, or they may be downloaded from mvrhs.org/guidance-counseling/scholarships. The applications must be postmarked by March 15, 2016.
