The core principles of the Mainely Character Scholarship Program are: courage (taking risks and following his/her conscience with fearlessness), integrity (being truthful and trustworthy to oneself and others), responsibility (conveying an attitude of commitment and conviction), and concern (demonstrating compassion and a caring attitude towards others and helping them to achieve their best). The Mainely Character Scholarship Committee will screen all applications and select applicants for personal interviews (by phone or in person). References will be checked. All applicants will receive notification of a decision by June 1.
