Worcester County Highway Association

Worcester County Highway Association supports its membership and their families through association programming and a structured scholarship effort tied to higher education and technical training. The organization maintains a mailing address at PO Box 446 in Clinton, Massachusetts, and its calendar includes recurring association activities such as an April Annual Meeting, a Training Day & Vendor Expo, a Golf Tournament & Meeting, and a November Business Meeting scheduled in 2026. Its website also identifies a Board of Directors, an Executive Board, members, associate vendor members, and sustaining vendor website links, indicating an association framework that brings together members and industry-related participants. A central part of the association’s community support is the WCHA Scholarship, administered under a Scholarship Committee appointed annually by the WCHA President. That committee consists of five members: four members of the WCHA Executive Board and one member of the association. For the 2025 cycle, the organization announced that the scholarship application was available with a deadline of October 31, 2025. Eligibility is defined for applicants who are children, grandchildren, or dependents of Worcester County Highway Association members, have applied to attend an accredited college, university, or technical institute with at least a two-year curriculum, hold a minimum 2.5 GPA, and are United States citizens. The sponsoring WCHA member must have at least three consecutive years of membership as of April 30 and be current on dues and in good standing. The application process requires a WCHA application form, an academic transcript showing GPA and class standing, a statement of scholarship need, and a 400-500 word essay on a community challenge related to Public Works and how the applicant would help address it. In 2025, Worcester County Highway Association awarded five $1,000 scholarships, underscoring its role in connecting association membership, public works interests, and educational opportunity in Massachusetts.
