Staples Alums Add to Tuition Grants Fund

Representatives from the Staples Class of 1966 presented checks totaling $1,500 from classmates to launch a new “All-Alumni Scholarship Fund” in support of the Staples Tuition Grants program that started in 1943. They encouraged other Staples grads to make similar contributions.
