The Maine Difference Scholarship, a program funded by Lamey-Wellehan, is intended to aid in the cost of attaining education for a Maine young person studying at a Maine college or university.
The focus of the student’s studies should be on the ecology and economics of Maine.

The award is a renewable $1,000 scholarship for undergraduate study at any college or university in Maine.
