Charles Eliot Scholarship:

The Charles Eliot Scholarship was established by MAPC in memory of Charles W. Eliot, II. Mr. Eliot was an advocate of regional cooperation and was especially interested in in land use planning as it affected transportation (coordination of trains, buses, cars, bicycles, and pedestrians), the need for communities to balance residential, business and open space, and the role of planning to solve modern problems (like today’s climate change).  
This scholarship is open to any senior in a secondary school in the 101 city-and-town MAPC region who is planning to further his/her education in these fields, which were of significant value to Mr. Eliot. A cash prize of at least $500 will be awarded in the form of a scholarship to the school of the recipient's choice.
