A recipient, Baylee Smith, states, "I work in a long term care facility every weekend in Gorham, Maine, while I attend school full time. I’ve maintained a 3.6 GPA and managed to make the Dean’s List the entire year. This scholarship is so good for college students! Thank you so much for all you do! "
