The Maine State Society of Washington, D.C. Foundation established a scholarship program in 1990 to recognize Maine students attending Maine colleges and universities, and has awarded more than $210,000 in scholarship funds to 180 students since 1991.

Each scholarship is in the amount of at least $1,000, including several awards over $2,000, and is awarded to full-time students who have completed at least one year of undergraduate courses at a four-year degree granting, nonprofit institution of higher learning in the state.

In 2017, the foundation granted eight awards worth a total of $11,000 to students from five  Maine colleges.

This year’s application deadline is March 15, 2018. Applications can be completed at tinyurl.com/yap9m4bm.
