Ricker College Scholarship & Endowment Committee

How to apply

This foundation reports that it accepts applications.

The Scholarship Program application is available on the website: https://rickerscholarship.com/ Applicants seeking funding should be prepared to provide their name, address, high school, and date of graduation. Applications must include proof of college acceptance and a signed high school transcript. If the applicant is currently attending college, they should identify where they are pursuing higher education, their focus of study, and basic financial estimates for the costs of their college program. Applicants are also asked to identify their parents, to provide a list of awards and personal achievements, and to detail any relationship or family history with Ricker College. Applications should also expect to include letters of recommendation with their application.

Deadlines: Applications must be postmarked no later than the 4th Friday in April.

Restrictions: Scholarships are open to graduates of high schools in Aroostook County, Maine. Most scholarships are for between $1,500 to $2,000 and are renewable until the student graduates or completes the fourth year of a longer program. The Foundation does not award Scholarships for more than four years except under unusual circumstances. Applicants must be in the upper quarter of their graduating class, unless there are twenty-five or fewer seniors, in which case applicants must be in the upper 35% of their graduating class. Special preferences may be given to high school students graduating from particular public schools and/or municipalities; such preferences and the funds available are detailed in the application instructions.
