LIVERMORE — Maine High School seniors can receive a $1,000 fellowship, named in honor of the Washburn-Norlands Living History Center’s founder, Ethel “Billie” Gammon. Applications are due by May 22.
Through a competitive process, the Norlands will award one high school senior a Billie Gammon Fellow for the 2015 summer season. The fellowship includes a $1,000 stipend.
This professional development opportunity honors Norlands’ founder’s bottomless enthusiasm for sharing American history by providing the opportunity for hands-on experience.
As a Billie Gammon Fellow, the award-winning senior will participate as a member of the Norlands’ staff, gaining valuable experience in living history education, museum operations, historic agriculture and other topics that may relate to his or her interests.
The fellowship will be awarded to a senior who has been inspired by the Norlands and is planning to pursue a field that can be related to its mission, which includes history, but could also include education, American studies, museum studies and sustainable agriculture, for example.
