Bement-Waterfield Educational Grants help young people who are active in the Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts to pursue their educational goals after secondary school. Grants may be used at accredited training and technical institutions as well as for undergraduate study at 2 and 4 year accredited colleges.
The Bement/ Waterfield Grants are made possible in part by income from a generous bequest by the late Miss Mary Bement many years ago.
In 1998, William S. Waterfield, Jr. left a bequest to the Diocese to provide additional funds for educational grants. Mr. Waterfield was a lifelong member of St. John’s Parish in Worcester. When the original St. John’s Church was razed to make way for interstate highway construction in 1962, he created the design for the current structure incorporating significant architectural features of the original church.
