The Clyde Russell Scholarship Fund (CRSF) offers financial awards to Maine graduating high school seniors to attend higher education institutions. The CRSF was created by the Maine Education Association through a trust established by the late Audrey Lewis, who served as president in 1958. The Fund was named after Clyde Russell, who served as Executive Director from 1945 to 1966.
There are two categories of awards as follows:
– Awards of up to $2,000 for graduating high school seniors who will attend a Maine Community College;
– Awards of up to $10,000 for graduating high school seniors who will attend a four-year college. Application forms must be downloaded from CRSF’s website before Jan. 31, 2022, and the deadline to apply is Feb. 1, 2022. The entire application must be received by CRSF via their P.O. Box no later than Feb. 1, 2022. Please allow 5-7 days for mail delivery to meet the February 1st deadline.
