Shrewsbury Resident Receives Full Tuition Award for Senior Year at Saint Anselm College

MANCHESTER, N.H. (September 25, 2020) – Matthew Ward of Shrewsbury, Mass., a senior at Saint Anselm College, has received a full tuition award for the entire closing year of his undergraduate studies. For 2020-2021, Ward is one of only two students at Saint Anselm to receive the Thomas A. Melucci, Jr. Memorial Scholarship. The Melucci award is presented annually and provides full tuition to seniors who have demonstrated significant spiritual and personal growth throughout their time at Saint Anselm College.

A business and finance major, Ward has spent his time on campus working to leave an impact. He currently serves as the president of the Red Key Society, captain of the men’s lacrosse team, an orientation leader, and is a member of the Student Athletic Advisory Committee. In addition to these activities Ward has completed internships at Alku, Northwestern Mutual, and Rise Private Wealth Management. He plans to work as a financial planner after graduation and has already begun taking the tests and receiving certifications that he will need to be successful.

The Thomas A. Melucci, Jr. Memorial Endowed Scholarship was established by Thomas and Gail Melucci as a way to memorialize their son, Thomas, who graduated from Saint Anselm in 1988. Mr. and Mrs. Melucci remain closely involved with the scholarship, serving on the committee that selects recipients each year.
