Description

The Maine Community Foundation, Inc. Long-term Scholarship Award is for Maine's nontraditional students who want to change their life for the better through education and training. Applicants must be over the age of 25 or work full time (35 hours/week or more) while enrolled; or have dependents other than a spouse; or be financially independent from parents and/or considered independent for FAFSA purposes; or have not received a standard high school diploma (completed with a GED, HiSET, or certificate of completion); or have delayed enrollment in college after high school for a reason other than a gap-year activity. Applicants are eligible for a long-term award if the program will last more than a full semester. At the end of the program the applicant must have a one- or two-year certificate or a two- or four-year degree. The applicant may need to renew the award to finish the program. Graduate study is not supported by this scholarship. 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. Deadlines are June 15 and November 15. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Maine Community Foundation, Inc. for more information.
