The Lamey Wellehan Maine Difference Scholarship

The Maine Difference Scholarship, a program funded by Lamey-Wellehan, is intended to aid in the cost of attaining education for Maine students studying at a Maine college or university.

The student’s studies should focus on Maine's ecology and economics. The emphasis on these aspects, with Maine as an intense background, is structured to ensure that both the student and the State of Maine benefit from the scholarship and careers that result from the student’s education.

The award is a renewable $1,000 scholarship for undergraduate study at any college or university in Maine. Lamey Wellehan has eliminated shopping bags at all of our stores to help reduce the millions of bags flooding our environment. The money we once used to purchase these bags is now being funneled into our scholarship program, which has allowed us to increase our scholarship offerings to three annually.

To be eligible to receive The Maine Difference Scholarship, the applicant must be either:

• A Maine high school senior who will graduate in the spring and who will enter a Maine college in the fall; or
• A graduate of a Maine high school in one of the four years preceding the current year who will be enrolled in a Maine college in the fall.

Submit the completed application by May 30th.  For any additional information, please email info@lwshoes.com.
