Keene, NH – Savings Bank of Walpole is now accepting applications for The Julie Tewksbury Scholarship for Working Moms. Now in its third year, the annual Bank-sponsored scholarship is designed to help support the efforts of working moms who want to grow professionally and personally, and to help them become great leaders in their fields and in the community.

As an employee for 28 years and a member of the Bank’s leadership team for 15 of them, Julie’s contributions were many and included championing workplace education initiatives to help promote ongoing career growth for employees – many of whom were working mothers like Julie herself.
