Monson Savings Bank Donates $2,500 to Women’s Empowerment Scholarship

MONSON — Monson Savings Bank recently provided a $2,500 donation to the Women’s Empowerment Scholarship as a part of its 2025 Community Giving Initiative.

Dan Moriarty, president and CEO of Monson Savings Bank, and Michael Rouette, the bank’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, met with Cori Medeiros, vice president of the Women’s Empowerment Scholarship, at the bank’s Loan and Operations Center in Wilbraham to present the donation.

“We are excited to present Cori with this donation knowing that it will be used to help support local women reach their education goals,” Moriarty said. “Monson Savings is honored to support the Women’s Empowerment Scholarship year after year.”

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Women’s Empowerment Scholarship works to invest in the future of females in Greater Springfield communities by encouraging and empowering them to pursue higher education. The foundation provides educational grants to women while paying special attention to women entering one of many male-dominated career paths, including, but not limited to, science, technology, engineering, finance, and law. In aiding women financially, the Women’s Empowerment Scholarship team aims to propel their careers and allow them to shatter stereotypes.

“The recurring support we have received from the Monson Savings Bank Community Giving Initiative is always so meaningful,” Medeiros said. “We would not be able to fulfill our mission without our supporters.”
