Established in 2013, the Laurendeau Fund provides renewable scholarship support to young women who are graduating seniors from high schools in Maine, and are pursuing post-secondary education in science or engineering at a four-year university.

The deadline for applications is June 1. Applications are available through the Maine Community Foundation at mainecf.org.

There is a preference for applicants demonstrating an interest and/or actively participating in their Franco-American heritage.

MCF has worked with donors and educators since 1983 to provide Maine students access to educational opportunities. The community foundation manages more than 650 scholarship funds.
