Preference is given to applicants who have a demonstrated interest in personal and commercial insurance professions, according to a news release from the foundation.

The application deadline is Monday, June 1. To apply, visit mainecf.org.

The foundation has worked with donors and educators since 1983 to provide Maine students access to educational opportunities. The community foundation manages more than 600 scholarship funds.
