2025 Recipient

Any high school senior in Maine who plans to attend the University of Maine may apply for the Dr. Tom Farrell Future Leaders of Maine Scholarship, which will fully cover in-state tuition for their Freshman year at the University of Maine (up to $15,000).

Applicants should demonstrate the kind of leadership skills that Dr. Tom Farrell modeled day in and day out during his fifty-year career in education: one who treats others with compassion, empowers others to be the best versions of themselves (and to become leaders themselves), and understands the importance of helping others and giving back to their communities.

To apply, tell us about yourself, how you define leadership, what leadership skills you have, and why you’d be a great future leader of Maine.

Finalists and recipients are announced on June 1st. The next application reading period opens in January of 2026.
