Challenger Memorial Scholarship
The Challenger Memorial Scholarship Fund provides a renewable scholarship resource for exceptionally talented public elementary school graduates who reside in Maine needing financial assistance to pursue their education as a boarding student (either full-time or five-day) at Gould Academy or Kents Hill School. The fund will support entering freshmen, but may consider an application from a senior in situations where a Challenger scholarship will make a difference between a student continuing in school or dropping out in his/her last year because of a severe family financial setback. Scholarships will be granted on the basis of established Maine residency, academic or artistic talents, aspirations, leadership skills, and financial need. Special emphasis will be placed on exceptional students who have not experienced an environment supportive of educational aspirations and who need the nurturing environment of a private school to develop their full potential.
Current recipents of a Challenger Memorial Scholarship are invited to apply for renewal consideration throughout their high school career, regardless of the private school they are attending.
Contact: High school guidance offices or Maine Community Foundation
Application Deadline: May 1

Greg Francoeur Memorial Scholarship
Greg Francoeur was an avid skier who took great joy in sharing his love of the sport. He was particularly interested in helping younger skiers perfect their technique and devoted many hours to the students enrolled in the weekend program at Carrabassett Valley Academy. Greg’s family and friends established this fund to celebrate Greg’s passion for excellence and to encourage others to strive for their personal best. Scholarship support will be provided to students enrolled at Carrabassett Valley Academy who would not be able to take advantage of educational and training opportunities without financial assistance. While skiers of all styles are invited to apply, Greg’s forte was freestyle and the Advisory Committee is particularly interested in supporting skiers who share the same interest.
