The Hugh and Elizabeth Montgomery Scholarship supports students who are adult learners (students who are beyond high-school age) returning to school to continue their education at the post-secondary level. Preference is given to students for whom a scholarship would make a significant difference in their ability to attend school. First-time applicants need not be enrolled in a degree-granting program but are encouraged to make that commitment before applying for renewal consideration. Please submit a signed letter of recommendation from a teacher, employer, professional contact or friend in support of your application. The deadlines are May 24, 2024, and October 18, 2024. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Maine Community Foundation, Inc. for more information.
