The Maine Christmas Tree Association is offering at least one scholarship each year to a student selected from applications submitted to the Scholarship Committee of the Association. The scholarship is to be used to aid the student to pursue his or her education in a post secondary certificate or degree program. Recipients must demonstrate academic achievement in high school or college. They should have work experience on a Christmas tree farm, or whose family is a current MCTA Member in good standing. Preference will be given to those who have been involved in the Christmas Tree Industry in some form. Preference will also be given to those interested in a career Related to the Natural Resource Field. Applicants must submit confirmation or other evidence of acceptance or enrollment in a post secondary certificate or degree program. Scholarship may be awarded to a high school senior who lacks such evidence. However, funds will be withheld until evidence is presented. Although not required, a letter of recommendation from a member of the MCTA outside the immediate family would be helpful. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
