Gloucester Educational Savings Bank
At Cape Ann Savings Bank, we understand that the youth of our communities are the future of our communities. As part of our deep commitment to Cape Ann, we have partnered with Gloucester High School to offer students an extraordinary learning opportunity for over thirty years. As of the start of the 2025/2026 school year the traditional high school teller run bank branch at Gloucester High School is transitioning into an internship opportunity and the high school bank branch will close at the end of this season and not reopen in September, 2025.

Abbott Scholarship Trust
The Abbott Scholarship Trust awards scholarships, annually, to graduating seniors and currently enrolled college students who are residents of Gloucester, Essex or Rockport.
About the Abbott Scholarship Trust: The Abbott Scholarship Trust was established by the Will of James N. Abbott, Jr., "to help underwrite students from Gloucester, Rockport, and Essex to attend full-time accredited institutions of higher learning subsequent to their graduation from high school." The Will provides that "Scholarship recipients shall be bona fide residents domiciled in Gloucester, Rockport and Essex", possessing, in addition to strong academic and moral qualifications, a firm commitment to the area of Cape Ann demonstrated insofar as possible by expressed intention and willingness to reside in the area after completion of their studies, practicing their professions, skills, business and talents within this community, thus returning in some measure the benefits conferred upon them by this "Trust."
