The Future of Maine Scholarship
Future of Maine Aspirations Scholarships are generally for $100 (with some exceptions below) and may be redeemed for costs of attending college (broadly-defined), costs of exploring college options, or it can be redeemed today for a program or resource that can help the student pursue his or her aspirations. So, college costs, college exploration, or to help students pursue their aspirations. Many scholarships are redeemed while the student is still in elementary school for a program or resource that can help them pursue their aspirations — a battery-powered chop saw, a sewing machine, art supplies, a summer camp.
Scholarships are awarded based on effort — effort on the application and effort in school. That means that no one is unable to earn this scholarship.
Scholarship recipients are recognized at very fun ceremonies in their community each year to celebrate the students, their aspirations, and the good work of their school.
Several larger scholarships are available to students at schools participating in the Future of Maine Initiative. Several students earn each of these scholarships each year. They are worth between $250 and $3000 and again may be redeemed for college costs, college exploration, or for aspirations.
