ELLSWORTH, Maine — Applications are currently being accepted for the Aspire Scholarship Fund at the Maine Community Foundation.
The Aspire Scholarship supports students who have resided a substantial part of their formative years (grades K-12) in Presque Isle or Washburn, as well as adult learners who have built a life in either town and are returning to school.
This renewable scholarship is designed to support students who have successfully completed an alternative education program, such as at the Presque Isle Alternative High School or through The Carleton Project, or who would have benefited from such a program had one been available to them.
The application deadline for the Aspire Scholarship is May 15. Applications are available at www.mainecf.org.
A statewide organization with offices in Ellsworth and Portland, the Maine Community Foundation has worked with donors and educators since 1983 to provide Maine students access to educational opportunities.
The community foundation manages more than 500 scholarship funds.
