Dear Friends of The River Fund Maine,

We are pleased to announce the recipient of the first-ever River Fund Maine Scholarship, a landmark initiative that sets talented local kids on a career path to success by providing up to $20,000 each year for four years toward the cost of college tuition, room and board, books and supplies.

Luci Rothwell of Bryant Pond, Maine is The River Fund Maine’s inaugural Scholar. She is a Telstar senior and is attending Central Maine Community College through Telstar’s advanced learning program which allows students to enrich their educational experience by taking advanced course work. On track to enroll in Husson University’s Five-Year Accelerated Program in Occupational Therapy, Luci’s educational aspirations reflect her junior year opportunity—shadowing an occupational therapist at Rumford Hospital—and her deep commitment to her local community. Ultimately, Luci plans to return to Western Maine to work in OT at a local hospital.
