ELLSWORTH — A Fayette resident is among the three recipients of the Maine Community Foundation’s Androscoggin County Committee Laurendeau Scholarships.
The scholarships are renewable and total $4,000. Recipients are Grace Despres, of Fayette, attending Case Western Reserve University; Britney Nadeau, New Canada, attending Husson University; and Elizabeth Parker, of Northport, attending the University of Maine.
Established in 2013, the statewide Laurendeau Scholarship Fund provides support to young women who are graduating seniors from high schools in Maine who are pursuing post-secondary education in either science or engineering at a four-year university. There is a preference for applicants demonstrating an interest and/or actively participating in their Franco-American heritage.
The deadline for the next round of scholarships is June 1, 2020. Applications are available at www.mainecf.org.
