Deadline Approaching for Legislative Memorial Scholarship Application
The Maine Legislative Memorial Scholarship Fund was created by the Maine Legislature and staff to annually recognize one student from each county who is currently or is planning to pursue their education at a two- or four-year degree-granting Maine college or technical school. This scholarship is available for full or part-time students.
Members of the Maine Legislature and staff conduct fund-raising activities to raise the money for this scholarship fund. Sixteen scholarships are awarded – a $1000 scholarship to one student from each Maine county (16).
The scholarship application and ALL supplemental documents must be submitted to theFinance Authority of Maine (FAME) and postmarked by May 1, 2019. Materials received after the deadline will not be considered.

Awards will be made directly to the applicant after successful completion of the first semester of school. Scholarships may be deferred for one year if this is to the student’s financial advantage.
