Franklin County Scholarships
Brent R. Churchill Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Brent R. Churchill Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 2000 by the employees of Central Maine Power Company in honor of Brent Churchill's deep commitment to community service. The fund provides scholarship assistance to a graduating senior of Mt. Blue High School, including those who attend classes at Foster Applied Technology Center, who is pursuing post-secondary education at a university, community college or business school with a curriculum of at least one year.

Hugh and Elizabeth Montgomery Scholarship
Both Elizabeth (Betty) and Hugh Montgomery had their roots in Phillips, Maine. Betty was born in Phillips and attended schools there and Hugh summered there in the old farm house that belonged in his family. They both went to college, Betty to Simmons and Hugh to Harvard, and pursued careers as librarians.
Their wish was that this fund would provide the opportunity for deserving students of Franklin County to receive financial assistance towards furthering their education. This renewable scholarship supports residents of Franklin County who are non-traditional students (beyond high-school age) returning to school to continue their education at the post-secondary level.
There is preference for students for whom a scholarship would make a significant difference in their ability to attend school.
First-time applicants need not be enrolled in a degree-granting program but are encouraged to make that commitment before applying for renewal consideration.

Deadlines: January 15 and August 15, 2007

Students will be selected based on their passionate commitment to community service as well as demonstrated determination to succeed in college.
