2010-2011 Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Recipients

The Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship program is a highly competitive, merit-based scholarship that is funded by federal dollars and offered to students in all 50 states. This award is made to graduating high school seniors who are residents of Maine and have demonstrated significant academic achievement in a rigorous program. Students are also evaluated based on their community involvement, awards and specials honors received. While the number of awards can vary from year to year, at least one recipient is selected from each Maine County annually. For the 2010-2011 academic year there were 27 students selected to receive the $1,500 scholarship.
