The Maine Community Foundation is accepting applications for the Lydia R. Laurendeau Scholarship Fund.

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

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

The deadline for applications is Wednesday, June 1.

Applications are available online at mainecf.org.

The foundation, with offices in Ellsworth and Portland, 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.
