Maine Community Foundation, Inc. Long-term Scholarship Award, with an application deadline in June, offers numerous awards of $2500 each. Location restrictions exist. Restricted to those with financial need.

Description

This scholarship is for Maine's nontraditional students who want to change their life for the better through education and training. The scholarship supports a range of training, including attending two- and four-year colleges and universities, completing a certificate and other non-degree programs, or attempting a self-directed learning experience with a clear goal. The Maine Community Foundation, Inc. Long-term Scholarship Award will last more than a full semester. At the end of the program the applicant will have a one- or two-year certificate or a two- or four-year degree. Graduate study is not supported by this scholarship. Deadlines are June 15 and November 15. Beginning in 2024, recipients may apply for renewal for a maximum of 5 years or 10 semesters of scholarship support. Current recipients who have already reached this maximum will be offered a grace period of one year (up to two semesters). The committee has a preference for applicants who have not previously attained a Bachelor's degree. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Maine Community Foundation, Inc. for more information.
