PORTLAND — The Mitchell Institute, a Maine-based nonprofit founded by Sen. George J. Mitchell to improve college outcomes for young Mainers that is now entering its 25th year, has announced its 2020 Scholars. The 145 recipients of the Mitchell Scholarship, representing public high schools from every community in Maine, each will receive a scholarship award for $10,000 to be paid out in four equal installments, as well as ongoing personal, academic and professional support.
