Dom DiMaggio Scholarship
The BoSox Club presented the first Dom DiMaggio Scholarship in 2007, and now presents it each year to a deserving St. Anselm College (Manchester, NH) baseball or softball student athlete. Award finalists are nominated by St. Anselm and the BoSox Club chooses the recipient based on a number of criteria, including financial need, scholastic merit and of course, participation in either baseball or softball. The scholarship is presented to the winner at one of the BoSox Club's fall luncheons.
The Scholarship was first created to honor Mr. DiMaggio as one of the Club's Founding Fathers and its first President. St. Anselm College was the natural beneficiary since Mr. DiMaggio had such a personal affinity for the school, having served on the board of trustees beginning in 1979, and working with two school presidents during periods of expansion and development.
