Clete Cannone Scholarship

 

Since 1990, the Cape May Beach Patrol Benevolent Association (CMBP-BA), an independent association composed of current and former CMBP lifeguards, has sought to help our lifeguards and the families of our guards afford a college education.  To that end, each year, the Committee awards one or more applicants with a financial award to help offset the costs of education.   For more information on this program, please contact the CMBP-BA.  The basic requirements and procedures are below.
