The Paul Williams Annual Scholarship is a $1,000 scholarship given each year during the Awards and Scholarship Presentation Night at Scituate High School. Paul Williams was a Scituate High School student and a member of the boys’ basketball program who tragically passed away in 2003. Over the past fifteen years a scholarship has been awarded to a Scituate High School senior chosen by the school's guidance counselors, teachers and administration. Each recipient chosen was first and foremost a good citizen and a person held in high regard not just at the high school, but the entire Scituate community as well. The other criteria considered was the person must have successfully met the terms of graduation either in day or night coursework and like Paul Williams planning to pursue a trade or technical degree.  He loved working with cars.  Our last conversation together was in the late fall of 2003 when he delivered pizza from Harbor House to a family party. He was so excited about his plans and possibly owning his own car repair garage one day.  This is a very different scholarship for a very deserving individual and believe it or not it has nothing to do with basketball. Paul Williams will not be forgotten and I personally feel humbled to be allowed by his mother Mary to be involved in this annual scholarship.
