SCHOLARSHIPS
2015
February 2015
Dear Students and Parents,
The purpose of this booklet is to provide information to graduating seniors about
the local scholarships and awards available. The Table of Contents represents
a diverse group of associations, organizations and scholarships. It is organized
by category to reflect various groups of sponsors. We hope that this will make the
process easier for applicants.
Eligibility guidelines and application procedures are provided for each
scholarship. Unless specifically otherwise indicated, applications are due by
April 1, 2015. Application forms are available on NAVIANCE or in the Guidance
Office. The DHS Scholarship Common Application (pages 59 & 60) is used for
many of the scholarships, this makes the process more efficient for you and the
guidance staff. However, there are several scholarships listed that require the
use of the organization’s own application. The criteria for awarding scholarships
and the selection process are determined by the organization or sponsor. The
Guidance Department functions only as a conduit for this information. Please
note, some applications must be mailed directly to the committees by the
student. Instructions for Criteria and Application Procedure and deadlines
must be closely followed or consideration may not be given to applications.
The DHS Scholarship Application Cover Form on (page 57 & 58) must be
completed and included with the applications that are submitted to the Guidance
Office. The Guidance Office cannot be responsible for processing and tracking
applications that are not listed on this cover form. Additional copies of this form
are available in the Guidance Office.
Please read the guidelines carefully and be respectful of application procedures
and deadlines.
We wish you good luck in your endeavors!

COLLEEN E. RITZER MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Criteria
Colleen Ritzer was a beloved Danvers High School Math teacher and a lifelong resident of
Andover. A 2007 graduate of Andover High School, she graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2011
from Assumption College with a bachelor of arts in Math and a concentration in Secondary
Education and a minor in Psychology. Colleen, the oldest of three children, received
tremendous support and encouragement from her large and loving extended family in her
journey to teaching.
Colleen began teaching at Danvers High School in September of 2012 and through her passion
for teaching, made a real impact in her student’s lives. She quickly earned a reputation as a
passionate and popular teacher. Following her passing, one student summarized Colleen’s
dedicated approach to teaching, sharing, “In the two short months I’ve had Ms. Ritzer as a
teacher, there are two things I have learned: Math is as good as you make it and being
nice to people can leave a greater impact on their life than you think.”
In honor of that passion and to create a lasting legacy, Colleen’s family established the Colleen
E. Ritzer Memorial Scholarship to benefit Andover and Danvers High School seniors who
demonstrate a passion for teaching, academic excellence and love of family. Applicants must
also plan to purse a degree in the field of education at an accredited 4-year college or university
in the fall of 2015.
All students who plan to major in Education or a specific subject (i.e. math, science, etc.) with a
concentration in education are encouraged to apply for these competitive scholarships that are
awarded to well-rounded individuals who share Colleen’s passion of family and teaching.

ANNE TURCOTTE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Criteria:
The Anne Turcotte Memorial Scholarship will award two scholarships in the amount of $1,000
each to the pair of graduating DHS seniors who best reflect the selfless, hard-working and
generous nature of Anne Turcotte.
Application Procedure:
Applicants must include the DHS Common Application, resume, two (2) letters of
recommendation, transcript, and 500-word essay (described further below).
Essay Description
The Anne Turcotte Memorial Scholarship Committee will award $1,000
scholarships to a pair of Danvers High School graduating seniors who best
exemplify the qualities of Anne Turcotte, who passed away March 2013 at age 50.
The Anne Turcotte Memorial Scholarship honors Anne’s life and her indelible legacy. She was
a daughter, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, a friend, a colleague, a
0 benefactor. She was vivacious, fiery and lived life to the fullest. She was your loudest fan
and most ardent supporter, but “watch out” to anyone who threatened the people she loved.
She opened her home to numerous transients with a warm meal, comfortable quarters and a
healthy serving of advice – like it or not. Anne was always on the go, whether it was a night out
with the girls, a boat excursion to Kettle Cove, or any event where she could marvel at her
beloved grandchildren. She worked tirelessly to advance tourism in Salem, often traveling
abroad herself whilst collecting friends and hearts along the way. But it was at home where
Anne seemed happiest. There she hosted countless parties and impromptu get-togethers –
rejuvenated, it seemed, by the laughter and love of the family and friends who surrounded her.
And in her year-long battle with cancer, Anne epitomized dignity, grace and compassion
wanting only the best for all who she was to leave behind. All that she asked was that her
grandchildren remember her, which this scholarship helps to ensure.
13
To be considered an Anne Turcotte Memorial Scholarship recipient, write a 500-word essay
about someone who impacted your life the way Anne impacted her family, friends and even
complete strangers. Explain how you know this person, the qualities they share with Anne and
in what special ways this person changed your life. In particular, show how this person’s
undying sacrifices, generosity and love forever changed you.

THE BROOKS FAMILY SCHOLARSHIP
The Brooks Family Scholarship
Since the death of Henry W. Brooks in 1994 the Brooks Family Scholarship (honoring Mr.
Brooks, his wife Alice E. [D’Amour] and his seven children) has been presented to many
Danvers High School graduates each year since 1995.
Introducing Mr. Henry W. Brooks, Sr. –
Mr. Brooks was born in Salem, Massachusetts on September 16, 1905. Growing up primarily in
Beverly, Massachusetts he took an interest in and liking of his father’s market on Rantoul Street
in Beverly. He decided he would like to own his own market some day.
In 1930 and having two children, which would grow to a family of seven children, Mr. Brooks
opened Brooks Market at 63 Elm Street in Danvers. He rented a small building attached to the
front of the Fossa family home and as Danvers grew Brooks Market grew.
With the uncertainty of the safety of the United States’ homeland during the early 1940’s, Mr.
Brooks became a First Sergeant in the Danvers State Guard.
In the mid-1940’s, Mr. Brooks built a new and bigger store, a self-service supermarket at 47 Elm
Street in Danvers. At this time, he had brown shopping bags noting “Growing with the town
since 1930.” Two of Mr. Brooks’ largest customers were Holten High School and Richmond
Junior High School. Mr. Ivan Smith, Superintendent of Schools in Danvers; Mr. Cornelius Dunn,
Principal of Holten High School and Mr. Lewis Crosby, Coach and Athletic Director were
frequent customers in Brooks Self-Service Supermarket.
With the 1950’s approaching, Mr. Brooks could vision even building a larger self-service
supermarket. His previous store at 47 Elm Street was sold and moved; but by the mid-1950’s,
Mr. Brooks had achieved his dream of building a larger self-service supermarket.
In his later years, Mr. Brooks taught meat-cutting at the Essex Agricultural School in Danvers.
In 1985, Mr. Brooks retired to Ft. Myers, Florida were he taught a course in boating.
The Brooks Legacy –
Mr. Brooks’ legacy of “helping others as they had helped him” is graciously accepted and
appreciated by his many beneficiaries which includes Danvers High School graduates. To date,
well over $1,000,000 has been distributed from the interest of his trust. There is no closure
date to the above distribution; “Mr. Brooks will continue to give.”
The application packet should be returned to the Guidance Office by April 1st

The Thorpe Scholarship
Willis E. and Helen L. (Woodfin) Thorpe Scholarship Fund
The Thorpe Scholarship has been awarded to graduates of Danvers High School since 1967. More than
300 students have benefited from the generosity of this fund. Within the school community, it is
regarded as a prestigious, coveted award. However, few know the history of the scholarship or the
background of Mr. Thorpe. The following information was obtained from the Danvers Archival Center
located at the Peabody Institute library.
Introducing Mr. Thorpe …
Willis E. Thorpe grew up in Sabattus, Maine. After graduating from Bates College in 1911, he moved to
Danvers to become the Assistant Principal of Danvers High School. At that time, the position was titled
Submaster. Mr. Thorpe held that position for five (5) years. Perhaps, his loyalty and commitment to
education, the town of Danvers and its schools grew from his experiences working with students,
educators and parents.
Mr. Thorpe left education to become associated with several tanneries in the area. He served as
President of the Paris Tanning Company and Vice President of the Paris Leather Company. Both of
these companies were located in Paris, Maine. Mr. Thorpe worked in the leather industry for 30 years.
In 1944, Mr. Thorpe became the Director of the Danvers National Bank. Mr. Thorpe’s career advanced
quickly. In 1948, he became Vice President; in 1950, he was named President of the Bank. During his
life in Danvers, he was involved in a variety of civic and community organizations. From 1951-1953, he
was a member of the Board of Selectman. Mr. Thorpe was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the
Danvers Industrial Commission and served as President of the Danvers Rotary Club. His activities
included Chairmanship of the Community Fund in 1954 and active involvement in the Heart Association.
Mr. Thorpe died in September 1963.
The Thorpe Will…
Mr. Thorpe expressed his respect and commitment to the community and residents of Danvers through
his last Will and Testament. Six hundred thousand ($600,000) dollars was left to the Town of Danvers
to establish a scholarship fund for Danvers High School graduates. The interest from this fund supports
the annual awards. According to the Will, scholarships were to be awarded to “deserving” seniors who
wished to pursue higher education. Students remain eligible to receive the award for four years of study
if they maintain respectable grades in college. The Will designates that the Selection Committee be
composed of the Superintendent to Schools, Chairman of the School Committee and Principal of
Danvers High School.
Fifty thousand ($50,000) dollars was bequeathed to the town to support health service. The interest from
this fund has been used to maintain Hunt Hospital. His philanthropic endeavors also included the
Danvers YMCA and the Danvers Unitarian-Universalist Church.
The Thorpe Scholarship…
Throughout his life, Mr. Thorpe strived to accomplish. The essence of the criteria used to select
recipients of the scholarship named in his memory reflects the qualities he tried to portray in his life
experiences: achievement, commitment, concern and respect for others. The Committee will also
consider financial needs. Application for the Thorpe Scholarship requires completion of the Common
Application Form, transcript, letters of recommendation and activity profile.
The application packet should be returned to the Guidance Office by April 1st.
