ELLSWORTH — The Maine Community Foundation offers nearly 450 scholarships that support students pursuing music, journalism, teaching, horticulture, technology, the art, and other fields. They are available for students attending secondary, post-secondary, and graduate schools, as well as non-traditional programs.

A complete listing of scholarships available for the upcoming school year is now online at the Maine Community Foundation website, www.mainecf.org.

In 2011, the community foundation awarded more than $1.5 million in scholarships to 1,275 Maine students attending schools in the state, across the country and around the world.

“Each scholarship award is a gift of educational opportunity from a Maine Community Foundation donor to present and future generations,” Meredith Jones, Maine Community Foundation president, said in a release.
