Bridgehampton - The Bridgehampton Historical Society is proud to introduce a new scholarship program for high school seniors with residency in the greater Bridgehampton area (Bridgehampton, Hayground, Sagaponack).

The historical society's mission is to inspire the documentation, preservation and interpretation of the history, oral history and cultural traditions of Bridgehampton and its surrounding communities. In line with this mission, the historical society is expanding on its collection of oral histories by inviting high school seniors to submit an oral history essay by March 15, 2012 to the historical society. Each essay must be an account of a local memory between 1,000 and 1,500 words. The story must be a recollection by a greater Bridgehampton personage pertaining to the locale. Winners will be selected by April 30, and the winner will receive a check for $1,000.
