During the reception scholarship recipients from previous Westfield High School graduating classes of 2019, 2020 and 2021 shared updates on their academic and career progress.
The College Men’s Club of Westfield was founded in 1922 and over the past century has helped hundreds of Westfield young men by providing college tuition assistance and funding standardized test preparatory courses. Since its founding, the CMC has raised and distributed over $1.2 million in higher education assistance to young men of the Westfield community. In 2022 the CMC awarded a total of $61,000 in four-year scholarships and one-year grants.
Scholarship applications are available through local high school guidance departments in February of each year and are evaluated by a committee of CMC Trustees each Spring. Funds for scholarships come from fund raising events, donations, membership dues, endowment investment income, and legacy bequests.
