A single scholarship was awarded in 2002 and 2003, and in 2004 it was expanded to two annual scholarships. In 2008 the scholarships were expanded from two to three recipients for a college-bound Senior from the Belmont High School Varsity Baseball Team, Varsity Softball Team., and Varsity Wrestling Team.  The team affiliations for each recipient are Charles Ferraro representing baseball, Brianna Gallagher representing softball, and Tim Hatch representing wrestling.  In the fall of 2010, Charles will be attending University of Maryland, Brianna will be attending Northeastern University, and Tim will be attending University of Massachusetts Amherst.  Sincere congratulations are extended to Charles, Brianna,Tim and their families.

The Brendan Grant Scholarship  has been established in memory of Brendan Grant, the accomplished 19-year old Belmont baseball player who was fatally injured  in an outfield collision during a Senior Babe Ruth game in June 200l. The three annual scholarships provide assistance to a senior member of the Belmont High School varsity baseball, softball and wrestling teams who will be attending an institution of higher learning after graduation. The scholarship is intended to reward a player who possesses the same positive spirit and leadership skills for which Brendan was known.  Click here for more information about the scholarship and about past recipients.
