Book Scholarships
The 2022 In-Person Forum has been cancelled due to Covid concerns
We provide book scholarships to students of families who work in the Maine fisheries
The Maine Fishermen’s Forum is very pleased to announce that the Board of Directors awarded $40,000 in scholarships in 2021, despite having to cancel the live event normally held in March.
The funding for these awards was generated from our online Scholarship Auction, donations from past Forum attendees, fishermen and organizations.
We will be holding another scholarship drawing in March of 2022. Candidates must complete the Forum application, be in at least their second year of college or a vocational school, and will need to submit a transcript along with the application.
