The Falmouth Commodores are now accepting applications for their two different scholarships – the George Creighton Scholarship and the Chuck Sturtevant Outstanding Service Award. Applications are being accepted until May 1, 2026.

The George Creighton Scholarship is awarded each year in memory of George Creighton, a long-time volunteer and past president of the Falmouth Commodores. Mr. Creighton was very active in youth sports and baseball in particular. Recipients must be high school seniors who are residents of Falmouth or Mashpee. The scholarships are awarded in recognition of student sports participation, academic achievement, volunteerism, and financial need. Three $1,000 scholarships are awarded each spring.

The Chuck Sturtevant Outstanding Service Award is given annually in honor of Chuck Sturtevant for his many years of service and dedication to the Falmouth Commodores and the Cape Cod Baseball League. The award is presented to individuals who have been involved with the team as a bat kid, long-term host family member, intern or other significant volunteer. Recipients will be considered regardless of residency. One $2,000 scholarship is awarded each spring.

Please share this information with anyone who fits the requirements listed above. Both scholarship applications can be located on the Falmouth Commodores website at https://capecodleague.com/falmouth/about/scholarships. Completed applications may be
