The George & Rachel Shaw Scholarship is administered by the Peabody Historical Society and Museum, and is funded by Sylvia Foster Marble in honor of her parents, George and Rachel Shaw. The scholarship is for $3,000.
On Wednesday, May 22, the Peabody Historical Society and Museum held its Annual Dinner. At this event, the 2024 George and Rachel Shaw Scholarship was awarded to Sofia Valencia of Peabody. She graduated from the PVMHS Class of 2022, where she was secretary of the PVMHS National Honor’s Society, and volunteered more than 100 hours at her parish, St. John’s. She is currently a sophomore at Tufts University, where she is studying biopsychology, with a minor in child study and human development. She is the president of the Philippine Student Union, a safety officer for the Tufts Gymnastics Team, as well as an avid member of the Tufts Pre-Physician Assistant Society, Boxing Club, and Ballroom Dance Team. Her goal is to become a physician’s assistant. We are excited to see all that Sofia will accomplish!
