Background

The Legislative Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 1995 in memory of all those who have served the Maine Legislature. The annual Scholarship Auction is the primary source for raising funds and is a successor to the Gould-Michaud Scholarship Auction. The Gould-Michaud Scholarship Fund was established on behalf of the late Representative Stephen Gould (R-Stillwater) and David Michaud, House Page, who was killed by a drunk driver.

$1000 Scholarships are awarded each spring to one student from each of Maine’s sixteen counties. Awards are made to Maine residents attending Maine institutions of higher education based on academic standing and need.

With the help of Legislators, Staff and the Lobby, the 2007 auction raised over $25,000. The 2008 awards will be made this Spring, during House and Senate Sessions, to 16 deserving students.

Applications are available online at www.mesfoundation.com.
