ELLSWORTH – The Maine Community Foundation is accepting scholarship applications from Androscoggin County students for the Annette M. Brown Scholarship Fund. The scholarship helps support the education of students pursuing a post-secondary degree at a two- or four-year college.
Eligible applicants must demonstrate a level of academic achievement suitable for predicting success in college; strong character and family values; and financial need. Preference will be given to first-generation college students and those attending accredited colleges in Androscoggin County, with secondary preference to those attending schools elsewhere in Maine. Applications from students attending school outside Maine will be given the lowest priority. The application deadline is June 1.
Annette M. Brown taught in the Lewiston-Auburn area in the early 1900s. In her 1916 will, she left $16,000 to establish a scholarship fund to benefit students. Since then, the fund has given thousands of dollars to Androscoggin County students pursuing higher education. The selection process is handled by a subcommittee of MaineCF’s Androscoggin County Committee.
A link to the online application is available at www.mainecf.org. For more information, contact Scholarship Coordinator Jackie Shannon, jshannon@mainecf.org, or 207-412-2004.
