James and Marilyn Rockefeller Scholarship
The James and Marilyn Rockefeller Scholarship Fund supports residents of Knox, Waldo, or Washington Counties over the age of 18 who, by circumstance or design, are on a “road less traveled” and are seeking traditional or nontraditional educational experiences that will change their lives and the lives of people around them. The committee is looking for applicants who have encountered circumstances that required uncommon tenacity, focus, hope, and humor, and/or who are choosing to pursue a meaningful life change that requires additional education. These applicants demonstrate a determination to succeed, are serious about learning, and have a plan (academic and financial) to achieve their goal. For students who have not encountered the circumstances referred to above, we wish you the best of luck, but this scholarship is not for you.
