WASHINGTON – Students who have completed at least one year at a four-year Maine college or university and have a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher are eligible to apply for scholarships offered by the Maine State Society of Washington, D.C. Applications for the scholarships, which are awarded in amounts of at least $1,000, are due April 1.
Serving as a home away from home, the Maine State Society was created in 1894 to bring a touch of Maine to the nation’s capital. More than 100 years later, the society still provides Washington-area residents with a social connection to their home state.
The society, a nonprofit organization, has been providing financial assistance to young Mainers since 1991. More information and applications are available at the society’s Web site, www.mainestatesociety.org.
