This year 27 applicants vied for 15 scholarships worth $20,000.

Selection was again difficult because there were more qualified applicants than money to award scholarships.

Your donations help to increase the Scholarship Endowment so The Association can continue to help those pursuing postsecondary education.  Thanks to our most capable Finance Committee for its prudent oversight of our investments.

Applications for the 2020 – 2021 scholarship year are currently available on the website as well as in the Ellsworth High School Guidance Office.  If you want to know how to make your application more competitive, contact the EHS Guidance Office, or correspond directly with the Awards Committee Chair David Burks at [email protected].
