Local students receive Worthington Scholarships

The Worthington Scholarship Foundation (WSF) is delighted to announce that 1,000 graduating seniors from high schools across Maine were awarded the Worthington Scholarship. The Foundation is committed to increasing college accessibility by reducing financial barriers and connecting scholars with resources that will aid them in their college journey.

“This Foundation was created with a simple vision: to support the completion of post-secondary education in Maine,” said Bev Worthington, Co-Founder of WSF. “In just 15 years, we’ve grown from awarding 10 scholarships to 1,000. We are honored to be part of our scholars’ college journey and know that they have what it takes to succeed.”

The Worthington Scholarship is open to students graduating from one of Maine’s 134 public high schools who plan to attend one of the Foundation’s partnering colleges in Maine. Awardees have shown a strong commitment to their education and a clear desire to invest in their future.

Each Worthington Scholar receives up to $20,000 in support to attend a Worthington-eligible Maine-based college.
