Preference is given to applicants who have a demonstrated interest in personal and commercial insurance professions, according to a news release from the foundation.

The application deadline is Monday, June 1. To apply, visit mainecf.org.

The foundation has worked with donors and educators since 1983 to provide Maine students access to educational opportunities. The community foundation manages more than 600 scholarship funds.

Headquartered in Ellsworth, with additional personnel in Portland, Dover-Foxcroft, and Mars Hill, the foundation works with donors and other partners to provide strong investments, personalized service, local expertise, and strategic giving to improve the quality of life for all Maine people.
