The Little Sebago Lake Association 2023 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 ninth annual (2023) scholarship to two most deserving students. The scholarship winner from Windham High School was Emma Casale , a student who has a passion for social justice, mental health, and the world around her. She is an accomplished leader who is committed to the school and the community. She was involved with field hockey, tennis, the Mental Health Club and social justice activities. This fall she is attending St. Joseph’s College to major in biology with a goal of being a physician’s assistant.
