Scholarship Application Introduction

The Brooksville Education Foundation was established in 2000 in order to expand educational opportunities available to the people of Brooksville, Maine. This has been achieved chiefly by providing scholarships to students pursuing post-secondary education. If you are a Brooksville resident taking your education beyond high school and could use financial aid, you are encouraged to apply to the Foundation for a scholarship.

Following is further information about our scholarships. If you still have questions after reading this information, please do not hesitate to contact us: brooksvilleeducationfoundation@gmail.com or (207) 326-9194.

Eligibility Criteria:

Residence in Brooksville, Maine: Applicants must be residents of Brooksville, ME. A student will be considered a resident if they live full-time in Brooksville. If living elsewhere for work or school, a student will continue to be considered a resident up to the age of 26, if they have family still living full-time in Brooksville.

Age: There is no age limit for Brooksville residents. Adults returning to school or changing careers, as well as recent high school graduates, are encouraged to apply.

Program Eligibility: Applicants must have been admitted to or be enrolled in an accredited post-secondary education program leading to an associate’s, bachelor’s, or graduate degree, or occupational certificate or license.

Demonstrated financial need: Applicants are required to submit any financial aid letter received from the school they attend or plan to attend.

Application: A completed scholarship application, two recommendations, and a personal statement must be submitted to the Brooksville Education Foundation.

Preferences: In practice BEF has always had sufficient funds to provide scholarships to all qualified applicants. However, if funds were to be insufficient to award full scholarships to all applicants in a given year, preference will be given to returning undergraduate students or those pursuing occupational certificates or licenses, then to new undergraduates, and finally to graduate candidates.

Several BEF scholarship funds have an expressed preference for particular fields of study. However, in the absence of applicants in those fields, scholarships may be awarded to otherwise qualified applicants. A single application is used to apply to all BEF funds. The BEF trustees will determine which fund is best suited to each applicant.
