Helping students achieve their educational goals of an advanced degree.
The John Pettibone Memorial Scholarship Fund upholds John Pettibone’s principle that all high school students be given the opportunity to pursue higher education by providing scholarships to those who might not otherwise have the means to obtain an advanced degree. The JPMSF Board of Trustees works to develop funds and awards over $70,000 in need-based scholarships each year. Our scholarships help eligible New Milford High School college, trade school, and associate degree-bound students achieve their educational goals.
$2,358,650 awarded in scholarships since 1949.

A Renowned Leader
The John Pettibone Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 1949 as an honor to New Milford’s first Superintendent of Schools, John Pettibone. Between 1902 and 1944, John Pettibone led New Milford’s educational system with a vision, a mission, and a deep personal interest in the fullest development of the abilities of every student. During his tenure as a teacher, principal, and Superintendent of schools he demanded excellence from students and expected community support of all school initiatives. His educational leadership in New Milford is renowned.
JPMSF scholarships help eligible college and trade school-bound students achieve their goals.
