James McGarry Scholarship

The scholarship honors Mr. McGarry, a former Woburn resident, for his 50 years of service to Northern Bank & Trust Company.  It also pays tribute to his lifelong affinity for the fire and police departments in his community. Over the decades, Mr. McGarry served with the Woburn Auxiliary Fire Department, founded the Independent Fire Association of Woburn and was active with the Massachusetts Antique Fire Apparatus Association. He was also one of the founders of the Annual Lynnfield Fire Muster.

Jim also treasured his close friendships with many of the city’s police officers and firefighters throughout the years. He admired the men and women who serve our community each and every day. This scholarship is the Foundation’s way of thanking our deserving public safety partners in his memory. 

The $5,000 scholarship will be awarded to a graduating high school senior with a parent or legal guardian who is an active firefighter or police officer employed in Middlesex County.

The deadline for submitting applications is May 3, 2019. The application is available by emailing a request to mcgarryscholarship@nbtc.com.
