Septemberfest Scholarship Fund

The Septemberfest Commission would like to invite all Bloomingdale residents and businesses to support the Septemberfest Scholarship Fund. This fund provides scholarships to Bloomingdale residents age 17 to 20. The award is funded through private, community and corporate contributions. 

The Septemberfest Commission offers two types of scholarships through the Septemberfest Scholarship Fund: the Joe Draghi Scholarship with the addition of the Dominic Froio Scholarship in 2023, as well as a trade school/vocational school Zaccardi Scholarship. Each year, the number of scholarships and value will vary, based and dependent upon total in the scholarship fund.
