Nathaniel Chadwick – $5,000 Scholarship Recipient

His Story

Nathaniel is from Saugus, attends Saugus High School, has a 4.3 GPA, and is a member of the National Honor Society. Nathaniel is in the Video Production Club, a Camera Operator and Tech High School helper. He also volunteers at the Blessed Sacrament Church.

Nathaniel’s father was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer, and passed away a year later when Nathaniel was 11 years old. Nathaniel quickly learned how life continued moving forward while he was falling considerably behind. Being out of school for three weeks, and having to move into temporary housing shortly thereafter, left this sixth grader struggling. However, 2 years later, Nathaniel was achieving straight A’s and high honors.

Nathaniel has a passion and love for technology which he learned from his dad. His father ran a Multimedia Design company, and Nathaniel was taught the basics by sitting side by side with his dad from a young age.

His teacher says, “he is one of the hardest working students, and his commitment to work, stands out as one of the best I’ve seen throughout my teaching career.”

Nathaniel will be attending Salem State University this fall, pursing a degree in Computer Science/Computer Programming.
