The foundation partners with Franklin County Community College Network to make this scholarship available to eligible students. Preference will be given to students for whom a scholarship would make a significant difference in their ability to attend school.

The deadline for applications is Aug. 22. For more information about the Montgomery Scholarship, visit www.mainecf.org or contact Betty Gensel at FCCCN, (800) 517-2859.
