The Stephentown Memorial Library is offering one scholarship this year in the amount of $750 to a graduating senior who plans to enter a two or four year college in the fall of 2009. The student must be a resident of Stephentown. The scholarship will be awarded to the student after having successfully completed one semester and maintaining a G.P.A. of 2.5.
