The Oliver Ames Tiger Scholarship is part of a newly established $1,000,000 endowed scholarship by an anonymous donor.

If an in-person graduation is not deemed to be feasible, the school has plans for a ceremony with only the graduates or a completely virtual graduation depending upon what public health guidance suggests.
