The Maine Community Foundation is accepting scholarship applications from Androscoggin County students pursuing two or four-year degrees for the Annette M. Brown Scholarship Fund.
Eligible applicants must demonstrate a level of academic achievement suitable for predicting success in college; strong character and family values; and financial need.
Preference will be given to first-generation college students and those attending accredited colleges in Androscoggin County, with secondary preference to those attending schools elsewhere in Maine.
Applications from students attending school outside Maine will be given the lowest priority, according to a news release from Taylor Mace at the foundation.
Brown taught in the Lewiston-Auburn area in the early 1900s. In her 1916 will, she left $16,000 to establish a scholarship fund to benefit students. Since then, the fund has given thousands of dollars to Androscoggin County students pursuing higher education.
The application deadline is Thursday, June 1.
