James and Marilyn Rockefeller of Camden have established a fund at the Maine Community Foundation offering residents of Knox, Waldo and Washington Counties “An Opportunity to…?”
The goal of the fund is to encourage residents under the age of 35 to pursue their passion for post-secondary learning, wherever it takes them, through a scholarship program.

“Education and experience are good stepping stones to that goal.”

Applicants should demonstrate a determination to succeed, be serious about learning and have a plan to achieve their goal. Does your plan take you to college or a different sort of learning setting, perhaps a boat building school, writing workshop, dance studio or…? What’s the best learning environment for you? What opportunity are you after?
