Mid-Coast Audubon is pleased to announce the availability of scholarships for individuals interested in learning about and experiencing the natural world. Scholarships are open to all, with priority given to students and teachers residing in Knox, Lincoln, and Waldo counties.

Thanks to the generosity of the Jean Hamlin Fund, other donors, and support from the Mid-Coast Audubon general fund, scholarship awards range from $250 to $1,000. These funds may be used for educational programs at camps or other institutions that foster a deeper understanding of nature.

“We believe hands-on experiences are essential for fostering a lifelong appreciation for wildlife and conservation,” said Mid-Coast Audubon President Jeff Cherry. “Our goal is to make these opportunities accessible to as many members of our community as possible.”
