Thanks to an anonymous donor, the OUT Maine Scholarship Fund returns for a second year!
The OUT Maine Scholarship Fund provides renewable support for Maine LGBTQ+ youth pursuing post-secondary education at an accredited, not-for-profit, non-sectarian college, university, or technical/vocational college in the United States. Applicants must demonstrate a financial need.
Scholarships vary from $1,000 to $25,000 annually, depending on a student’s financial need and application. The applicant may be asked to meet with a representative of OUT Maine to discuss the application.
Applicants for the OUT Maine Scholarship Program must be an LGBTQ+ Maine resident between ages 17 and 22 planning to attend or currently attending an accredited post-secondary institution or technical vocational/trade school with a demonstrated financial need. The preferred applicant’s cumulative GPA would be at least 2.8 (4.00 scale). However, OUT Maine encourages any LGBTQ+ young person to apply regardless of GPA. Applicants in underserved Maine communities and first-generation college students will receive preferential consideration.
