Maine State Police Memorial Scholarships Awarded

Over the last two weeks Col. John Cote traveled around the state to meet up with some amazing students who are part of the Maine State Police family.  In 1983, through the generosity of Henry Ferne of Wiscasset,  the Maine State Police Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to provide scholarships to high school seniors who are the children of active, retired or deceased State Police officers.  The competition for these scholarships, which are several thousand dollars, is stiff and those who received these awards have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in academics, extra-curricular activities, community and character.
  
Normally we would publicly recognize these students during our annual awards ceremony.   However, this year’s ceremony was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  We congratulate them on their awards and wish them all the best in the future.
