OLLI at USM establishes Expanding Horizons:
A pilot scholarship program
OLLI at USM encourages lifelong learning with a pilot scholarship program for Mainers of any age who already hold a bachelor degree.
“Establishing this scholarship aligns perfectly with OLLI’s mission of providing lifelong learning opportunities for Mainers,” said OLLI Executive Director Kali Lightfoot. “By providing tuition assistance for their first graduate course, scholarship recipients can take a class just for the joy of learning something new, or continue and achieve an advanced degree.”
