Franklin, MA - 1776 Financial Services awarded the Scott Dittrich Memorial Scholarships to Ella Mahoney of Franklin High School and Addison Lewis of King Philip Regional High School. 

The scholarship is given in memory of 1776 Financial Services co-founder Scott Dittrich who passed away in March 2023. Throughout his lifetime, Scott demonstrated the extraordinary ability to regularly engage others and influence change. Ella and Addison submitted winning essays detailing an instance when they inspired someone to act which resulted in a positive outcome. 

These annual scholarships are awarded to one Franklin High School senior and one King Philip Regional High School senior who will pursue a business-related major at a 4-year college or university. The scholarship is a progressive one that will be given out over the four years of study. 

1776 Financial would like to wish Ella and Addison the best of luck as they attend New York University and Georgia Institute of Technology respectively.
