Region — The Maine Community Foundation (MaineCF) seeks applications to its Adult Learner Scholarship Fund which supports non-traditional students who want to change their lives for the better through education and training.
MaineCF offers two types of Adult Learner scholarships. A degree-seeking scholarship supports two- and four-year degree programs and certificate courses that fit into the regular calendar year. The application deadline for this scholarship is November 15, 2020.
The second scholarship supports credential/certificate programs that last less than a full semester. These short-term scholarships have a rolling deadline of the first of each month.
Eligible applicants must meet one of the following criteria to be eligible: be over the age of 25; work full-time; have dependents other than a spouse; or be financially independent, not have received a standard high school diploma, or delayed enrollment in college after high school for a reason other than a gap year activity.
Complete guidelines and application forms are available at www.mainecf.org. If you have questions, contact MaineCF Scholarship Manager Liz Fickett at lfickett@mainecf.org.
