The W. L. Gilbert Trust Scholarships are administered by The Gilbert School Scholarship Committee, chaired by Principal Susan Sojka. All Gilbert graduating seniors and alumni are eligible to apply.  Interested individuals may request an application from the school by calling (860) 379-8521 or download the application (PDF).

In 2018, the Trust distributed more than $130,000 in scholarships to students planning to pursue post-secondary education. These scholarships, many in place since the early 1900s, are made possible by the generosity of The Gilbert School alumni and friends. We are grateful for their support and commitment to the continued education of our students!
