BPW/Maine Futurama Foundation
Since 1962, when the first small scholarship was presented, the Maine Business and Professional Women (BPW) have helped Maine women achieve economic self-sufficiency by awarding scholarships to outstanding deserving women. Recipients of these scholarships have gone on to take their place in the ranks of working women who contribute to the economic well­-being of their families and the State of Maine.
The BPW/Maine Futurama Foundation awards a scholarship in the amount of $3000 to a woman enrolled in, or returning to, an accredited college or training program of more than one year in length.
