Abington Bank, a division of North Shore Bank, has announced a generous $125,000 five-year commitment to the Quincy College Foundation to establish a scholarship partnership that will expand access to higher education for local students.

This philanthropic investment will support annual scholarships for Quincy College students, helping to reduce financial barriers and promote academic success.
