Our ProgramsThe Eugene Atwood Fund was established in September of 1916 by Eugene Atwood, the owner of the Atwood Machine Company in Stonington, Connecticut. An inventor as well as a businessman, Mr. Atwood prized the value of education.
In 1916, The Eugene Atwood Fund began providing interest free loans to New London County area college bound students, a practice that still continues today. In the early 1950’s, the Board of Trustees established the Eugene Atwood Award as a nod to our founder which provides an award to a student/student(s) based on academic achievement and the individual aligning with our mission statement. In June, 2020, the Trade and Tech Committee was established with a goal of adding a new program that provides interest free loans for individuals in the New London County area who will be attending a Technology or Trade Program. In August, 2020, the Trade and Tech Committee announced the addition of the Eugene Atwood Innovation Award to provide an award for the purchase of tools/equipment needed for a student pursuing a career in a trade. In April, 2021, the Trade and Tech Committee announced the Trade/Tech School and Certification/Licensing Interest Free Loan Program would begin accepting applications on a rolling basis. |
