For more than 30 years, the Marlboro School Association (MSA), founded in 1994, has enriched Marlboro students’ education by funding opportunities that would otherwise not be available through the regular school budget.

When the Marlboro Elementary School (MES) closed in June 2026, the MSA shifted its role. Closing MES changed where our children go to school, but it did not change their need for educational opportunities, experiences, and support.

In 2026, the MSA reorganized as an independent public charity so that we could continue our mission of enriching the education of Marlboro students wherever they attend school.

At the same time, we took on an important new role. Another town nonprofit, The Marlboro Alliance, generously agreed to have the MSA assume responsibility for its educational scholarship program. The MSA will now receive applications, select recipients, and distribute awards. We are working with the Marlboro Alliance to recreate its application process on this website and expand the program to include summer educational opportunities for Marlboro students in grades K–8, in addition to the existing support for high-school summer enrichment and college and vocational education.

In 2026, MSA matched the Marlboro Alliance’s funding for its high-school summer enrichment and college and vocational scholarship programs. We are pleased to continue and expand this work.

If you are a student, parent, educator, or community member with an idea for an educational opportunity the MSA could support, please contact us via the form on this website. We also welcome suggestions about unmet educational needs, programs that deserve support, or other ways that MSA can help Marlboro students.
