The Little Sebago Lake Association 2022 Scholarship Awards

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 eighth annual (2022) scholarship to two most deserving students. The scholarship winner from Windham High School was Will Searway, a student who has a passion for the environment

and plans on working with marine life. He is an accomplished leader who was involved with the local community, on the tennis team, Windham Chamber Singers, District 2 All-State Choir, and school and community theater. Also recognized as a scholar, he is a member of the National Honor Society, and the Latin Honor Society. This fall he is attending the Roger Williams University to study Marine Biology or law.

The recipient of the Gray-New Gloucester High School scholarship was Colin Frohlich who is going to the University of Maine to study Ecology/Environmental Science. Colin is an IB Diploma Candidate who participated in Nordic skiing and varsity soccer. We are proud to help support these hard-working students as they pursue their education and careers.
