The Little Sebago Lake Assoc. Scholarship Award

To help support our local communities and to encourage lake stewardship, the Board of Directors created a new scholarship in 2015. The goal of this scholarship is to assist graduating high school students who enroll in a college program to pursue a degree in general environmental sciences, water quality or watershed management. Up to two $500 scholarships will be awarded each year, one to a graduating senior from Windham High School and one from Gray-New Gloucester High School. Last spring, we were pleased to award the sixth annual (2020) scholarship to two most deserving students. The scholarship winner from Windham High School was McKenna Smart, a student who has a passion for the outdoors and a commitment to the environment and her community. She is a kind young woman who has been a leader on her cheerleading teams, as a middle school cheer coach, as a Girl Scout and as a summer camp counselor. This fall she is attending the University of Maine to study Environmental Science. The recipient of the Gray-New Gloucester High School scholarship was Colby Saunders who is attending the University of Maine at Machias to study Wildlife Biology. Colby has always loved being outdoors and is working hard at school hoping for a good job with the opportunity to work with animals in their natural habitat. We are proud to help support these hard-working students as they pursue their education and careers.
