Brooksville Education Foundation Scholarship Grant

The Brooksville Education Foundation Scholarship supports residents of Brooksville, Maine, by providing financial aid for post-secondary education. Established in 2000, the foundation aims to expand educational opportunities through scholarships for students of all ages, prioritizing those with demonstrated financial need. Eligible applicants must be enrolled in accredited programs and are encouraged to apply regardless of age. If funding is limited, preference is given to returning undergraduate students and those pursuing occupational certificates.

To accomplish this, BEF will solicit donations and provide grants that support: early childhood education; program enrichment for Brooksville elementary and high school students; scholarships for Brooksville residents of any age to help further their education beyond high school; matching funds for educational grants from other institutions which further the purposes of BEF; and such other requests as are consistent with its purpose.
