The John and Abigail Adams Scholarship is a merit-based program that provides tuition at a Massachusetts state college or university. Seventy-three Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School (BVT) seniors are the proud recipients of an Adams Scholarship. The award allows these students to further their vocational and career training with additional education, advanced training, and credentials.

The first-time score on a high school MCAS exam determines eligibility for an Adams Scholarship. Adams Scholar recipients receive free tuition for up to eight semesters of undergraduate education at a Massachusetts public college or university, renewable for eight consecutive semesters or four years. Recipients must use the tuition credit in the first fall semester following their high school graduation and maintain a GPA of 3.0 or better.

Mendon residents earning the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship include Ketlhy Bicalho, Greyson Blalock, Aiden Fayer, Charles Lozeau, and Aiden Quimby; and Upton residents include Nikol Amburtseva, Justin Fransen, Jack Lupien, Ryan May, and Van Richard.
