Scholarship Description

The Mitchell Institute awards scholarships to graduating students from every public high school in Maine each year. The scholarship award is in the amount of $10,000 and Mitchell Scholars have up to six years to use the funds. An award check in the amount of $2500 will be disbursed to each Scholar annually for up to four years.

To be eligible for consideration, an applicant must be a legal resident of Maine and a graduating student from a public high school in Maine.
