RE: Maine Recreation and Park Association Scholarships Available:

Two @ $750 ea. for current sophomore - senior students currently enrolled in Recreation & Parks programs

One @ $500 for a Maine High School Senior entering the Recreation & Parks field of study

Enclosed please find a copy of the applications for the scholarships offered by the Maine Recreation and Park Association.

Please take a moment to become familiar with the scholarship application. Your knowledge of these scholarships will help in spreading the word that they are available and I hope you might act as a contact person and resource for students wishing to apply.

Please post a copy of the applications on your bulletin board and provide copies to prospective applicants.

This information, including applications, has been sent to every high school in Maine, every University of Maine System campus and every Recreation Department. I would appreciate it if you would take a minute to call your local high school Guidance Director to confirm they received the information and act as a local resource to be sure they understand this scholarship is for RECREATION, PARKS OR LEISURE SERVICES majors, not physical education or other fields.

You may have people who might have worked for you in the past or currently that may be interested in the profession and qualify for the scholarship. Please send them an application and a personal note encouraging them to apply.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
