NORTHEAST HARBOR — Maine Seacoast Mission has announced 27 new Mission Scholarship award recipients from 12 high schools in Hancock and Washington Counties.
The newest Mission Scholars include students from Mount Desert Island High School, including Samantha Mace, Maria Perconti and Sarah Raven.
This year’s scholars plan to major in fields including nursing, environmental science, education, exercise science, psychology, ecology, business, English, biology, engineering, political science and radiography. The post-secondary education and career landscape focus on many ways to achieve higher education and workforce readiness. These awards fulfill the intent of the Mission’s Scholarships’ annual support for individuals entering trade, technical, two- and four-year colleges. Scholars are chosen not only for their academic achievements, but also because of the students’ commitments to their communities, perseverance, and future aspirations.
“We are proud to help a wide range of students achieve their goals and look forward to seeing what they achieve over the coming years,” says the mission’s EdGE Secondary and Post-Secondary Program Director Christy Oliveri. “They join an amazing group of Scholars who are currently studying at schools across the country.”
These Mission Scholars join an existing 59 scholars who renewed their applications for the coming academic year. For the 2025-2026 school year, $264,000 will be awarded to 86 college students. Mission Scholarships typically range in amount from $6,000 to $14,000 dispersed over four years, the period normally expected to complete a degree or certificate program. In 2024, 97% of Scholars continued their award and returned to school for an additional year of study.
