2025 Maine Golf Scholars
< RETURN TO Scholarship
FREEPORT, ME — Maine Golf is pleased to announce the recipients from the class of 2025 earning awards from the Maine Golf Scholarship Fund. Since its inception in 1950, the Fund has helped over 600 students from all 16 counties across the Pine Tree State to pursue higher education. Maine Golf is now approaching $2.3 million given as scholarships over the years to Maine students with a passion for golf.
“It is an honor to present this year’s recipients with a scholarship from Maine Golf,” says executive director Brian Bickford. “We take great pride in seeing most of the award winners grow up in Maine and move on to a secondary education. Congratulations to this year’s class!”
Students are selected based on their character, financial need, academic performance, and participation in the game of golf and/or golf industry. For 2025, the Maine Golf Scholarship Fund Committee has selected 12 new students to receive awards of $2,000 per year, renewable for up to four years of undergraduate education. Two additional standout students will receive a one-time grant of $5,000 from the Frank Langlois Scholarship Fund.
