QUINCY, MA – The Quincy College Foundation, the nonprofit charitable arm of Quincy College, is pleased to announce a partnership with MountainOne Bank to provide student scholarship support totaling $50,000 over five years. More than 75% of Quincy College students receive some form of financial assistance, underscoring the importance of scholarship support in helping students complete their education.

This partnership strengthens access to higher education and highlights the important role community partnerships play in supporting student success. The annual scholarships will help reduce financial barriers for students who might otherwise be forced to delay or discontinue their education.

“Too often, financial challenges stand in the way of completing a college education,” said Quincy College Foundation Chairman Paul Barbadoro. “Thanks to MountainOne Bank’s generous commitment, we are able to support more Quincy College students in achieving their academic and career goals.”

Quincy College students will be selected through an application and review process conducted by a selection committee. With MountainOne Bank’s annual contributions continuing through 2030, several students will be able to continue their academic journeys with reduced financial barriers.

“MountainOne Bank is pleased to partner with the Quincy College Foundation to offer these scholarships to local students,” said Robert J. Fraser, President & CEO of MountainOne Bank. “Investing in our communities means investing in our future work force. We hope these scholarships help students pursue their educational goals and enable them to make meaningful contributions to their professions and communities for years to come.”
