Oral History Scholarship
For the second year in a row, the Bridgehampton Museum will offer a scholarship to a graduating senior living in the Bridgehampton, Hayground, or Sagaponack School District.
To be considered for the scholarship, students must submit an oral history essay recounting a Bridgehampton memory, or based on the recollections of someone who lived there. For example, last year’s winner, Steven Hatgistavrou, wrote about Ted Damiecki’s recollections of the 1960 World Series.
Essays must be between 1,000 and 1,500 words and should be hand-delivered, e-mailed, or postmarked no later than March 15. Essays shiould be in PDF, MS Word, or hard copy form. More details can be learned by e-mailing [email protected].
A winner will be selected by April 30 and will receive a check for $1,000, as well as have their submission published in the museum’s annual Bridge Journal.
