The Ocean City-Berlin Optimist Club recently donated $40,000 to fund scholarships for Worcester County students up to age 21 who are attending Wor-Wic Community College.
“The Ocean City-Berlin Optimist Club has been providing support for the kids of Worcester County for the past 50 years,” said Christina Dolomount, president. “In that time, we have provided over $2.5 million in scholarships. Our goal is to make a difference in the life of a child.”
The club raises funds for its efforts through running the annual Seaside Boat Show in Ocean City, among many other community efforts.
Worcester County students interested in applying for the scholarship can contact the financial aid office at financialaid@worwic.edu or 410-334-2905.
