Bradford College Alumni Endowment Scholarship
The Bradford Alumni Endowment Scholarship is awarded to incoming (either first year or transfer) Hampshire students who have participated in community service activities before coming to Hampshire as evidenced in their admissions applications who are in need of financial aid of $5,000 or more.

Bradford began educating post-secondary students in 1932, when it opened its doors as Bradford Junior College, a women's college. It became coeducational Bradford College in 1971. The school was closed in 2000, and in late 2007, the remaining endowment of $3.6 million was awarded to Hampshire College. Preference for Hampshire College students who have a connection to Bradford College or are from Massachusetts.
