AUBURN — Cody Timberlake of South Paris is one of seven Maine community college students to receive a $1,000 scholarship from the Maine Real Estate & Development Association

Timberlake, a second-year student at Central Maine Community College, has been awarded the scholarship for study during the current academic year.

A graduate of Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School, Timberlake is an honors student in the building construction technology program at CMCC.

To qualify for the scholarship, students must be a Maine resident, have financial need and be enrolled as a second-year student in the building trades, architecture, construction, engineering or business program at a Maine community college.

The funds for the scholarships were raised through MEREDA’s annual Strikes for Scholars bowl-a-thon in May. The association’s goal is to raise enough each year to fund at least one scholarship at each of Maine’s community colleges and support Maine students as they prepare for careers in areas of study that promote MEREDA’s mission of responsible development and ownership of real estate throughout the state.
