George I. Alden Scholarship

In August 1999, the George I. Alden Trust awarded Daniel Webster College a 3 for 1, $75,000 challenge grant to raise funds for the college's endowment for scholarship. The Trust recognized that the college needed to grow its endowment for scholarships and wanted to help by offering this challenge grant. In November 2001, the College successfully completed the challenge by raising $225,000 from trustees, alumni, parents and friends, and the Trust immediately fulfilled its commitment. The scholarship is need-based.

Mr. Alden was the first professor and mechanical engineering department head at WPI in Worcester, Massachusetts. While achieving much success in business, as an educator, and as a researcher in hydraulics, Mr. Alden never forgot the importance of an education. Prior to his death he established a trust to continue his support of education for future generations.
