Scholarships will be awarded to Maine high school seniors who will pursue post high school education and who demonstrate key attributes of character - responsibility, courage, integrity and concern for others. Scholastic achievement, athletic achievement or financial need are not considered in awarding the scholarships.
The three 2012 scholarship winners demonstrated attributes of character in a number of ways - by assisting a troubled student through his high school years, by overcoming daunting obstacles to staying in school, and by organizing a peace program between high school students in the United States and the Middle East.
Three scholarships are available in 2013: one $5,000 scholarship, sponsored by R. M Davis Inc. of Portland, and two $2,500 scholarships, sponsored by Northeast Bank of Lewiston and Market Decisions of Portland.
Information on the scholarships and an application can be downloaded from www.mainelycharacter.org. The deadline is March 15.
