Who is eligible

“Scholarships are open to graduates of high schools in Aroostook County, Maine. Most scholarships are for between $1,500 to $2,000 and are renewable until the student graduates or completes the fourth year of a longer program. The Foundation does not award Scholarships for more than four years except under unusual circumstances. Applicants must be in the upper quarter of their graduating class, unless there are twenty-five or fewer seniors, in which case applicants must be in the upper 35% of their graduating class. Special preferences may be given to high school students graduating from particular public schools and/or municipalities; such preferences and the funds available are detailed in the application instructions.”

Restrictions are quoted from the filing’s own words. A foundation’s mailing address doesn’t always decide who’s eligible — the restriction text above does.

How to apply

“The Scholarship Program application is available on the website: https://rickerscholarship.com/ Applicants seeking funding should be prepared to provide their name, address, high school, and date of graduation. Applications must include proof of college acceptance and a signed high school transcript. If the applicant is currently attending college, they should identify where they are pursuing higher education, their focus of study, and basic financial estimates for the costs of their college program. Applicants are also asked to identify their parents, to provide a list of awards and personal achievements, and to detail any relationship or family history with Ricker College. Applications should also expect to include letters of recommendation with their application.”

Where this information comes from

Every fact on this page is published from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF for the tax period ending 2024-12-31 (EIN 222709285). Part XV of that form is where a private foundation that accepts unsolicited applications must tell the IRS — and the public — who to send applications to, what to include, any deadlines, and any restrictions on awards. Most of these programs are never listed on scholarship search sites; the filing is often the only public record they exist.

Every listing on this site is compiled from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF filing — the public record where foundations that accept applications must state who to contact, how to apply, any deadlines, and any restrictions. Filings are annual, so details can change between filings: always confirm the current deadline and requirements with the foundation before applying. This site is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any foundation listed. Scholarship information here is free; we charge only for optional application coaching, and we never write your application for you.
