Kirby Perkins A+ Scholarship Fund

In July of 1997, WCVB-TV lost one of its finest reporters. Kirby Perkins, a long-time staff member died of a heart attack at the age of 49.

Mr. Perkins spent most of his distinguished career reporting on the people, places, and things that made our community tick; but his true passion always rested with the "people" part of the job - specifically with children.

Mr. Perkins was an innovator and developed a weekly news segment to honor high school students taking the right road. WCVB calls the segment "A Plus", and each week it recognizes a student of great achievement.

Nominations for A+ are solicited each week on WCVB newscasts following the A+ report. Viewers are asked to send nominations for worthy students either via regular mail or e-mail.

If you know a special student, please e-mail us your nomination.
