 As part of a writing assignment in Writing Lab, 4-6th grade students were given the opportunity to fill out a scholarship. Students learned about college and trade programs and schools that offered the programs they were interested in. After researching these colleges and programs, they applied to a scholarship to learn about the process. Most students applied to the Future of Eastern Maine Scholarship which had an award of $100 for winners, but those who were interested in a medical field could apply to the Johnson/Wolfberg Health Scholarship which had an award of $500 for winners due to its length and complexity.
It is with great pride that we share with the community that Hailey Richard won and will be a recipient of the scholarship upon her high school graduation! In her application, she wrote about her goals of becoming a nurse practitioner and minimizing the effects of the flu and Covid in her community. Great job, Hailey!
