AUBURN — Two Central Maine Community College students have been awarded scholarships from the Maine Real Estate & Development Association for study during the current academic year.
Crystal House, of Rangeley, Elena McNeil, of West Paris, are among 15 Maine community college students to receive scholarships from the association. Both are for $1,250.
House is a second-year student in the Business Administration and Management program at CMCC. She has earned both high honors and president’s honors in her studies here at CMCC. She hopes to one day start her own business.
McNeil is also asecond-year student in the Business Administration and Management program. She earned high honors last fall. A full-time student, she is employed at Walmart in Oxford and also works with horses at MC Farms in South Paris. She hopes to devote her full time to the farm after she graduates in May
The money for the scholarships was raised through MEREDA’s annual “Strikes for Scholars” bowl-a-thon in May. The association’s goal is to 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.
MEREDA began its scholarship program over six years ago for students in the building trades and has continued to grow and support the program. Since 2014, MEREDA has raised and donated over $73,000 in scholarships assisting 57 Maine community college students. More information on MEREDA is available at mereda.org.
