OXFORD – Superintendent Mark Eastman told the Board of Directors at its meeting Monday night that seniors received another $80,000 in scholarships Monday from the Pearl Starbird scholarship fund.

The amount is added to the $500,000 in scholarships handed out to graduating seniors last week, he said.

“It’s been a great week,” Eastman remarked.

More than 190 of the 220 seniors received scholarship money that Eastman said was double last year’s amount.

The money included $100,000 from a $1.1 million anonymous donation received unexpectedly last week. The money goes into the Oxford Hills Scholarship Foundation, which has received more than $2 million in the past 10 years from an anonymous donor and another $1 million from the estate of William and John Porter. The foundation has given out nearly $1 million in scholarships in the past 10 years.

The Pearl Starbird scholarship is awarded to graduates of Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School and the Lakes Region High School who pursue education in the arts. The scholarship honors Starbird, an accomplished artist and former summer resident of Waterford who taught in the Boston Public Schools for many years.

It is administered by the Maine Community Foundation.
