Mission Statement

Our mission is to recognize and reward Maine high school seniors of exceptional character. Since 2001 we have awarded over 100 educational scholarships totaling in excess of $385,000. Our scholarships are awarded based on an applicant's character. We do not consider academic achievement, athletic prowess, musical ability, artistic talent or financial need. Four aspects of student's character are considered when making an award. Courage: Persisting through difficulty, distress, or fear in order to achieve something important. Integrity: Being truthful and trustworthy to oneself and others. Responsibility: Conveying an attitude of commitment and conviction. Concern: Demonstrating compassion and caring attitude towards others, and helping them achieve their best. Mainely Character awarded twelve $5,000 scholarships in 2024 and will award thirteen $5000 scholarships in 2025. Some scholarship payments are deferred to subsequent semesters at the request of scholarship recipients.
