PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Two Northern Maine Community College students are receiving $500 scholarships and have been named to the All-Maine Academic Team for two-year colleges.Crystal Condo and Amanda Eivers, both of Presque Isle, were honored March 23, 2016, during a ceremony at the Senator Inn in Augusta.
