Scholarships
We
are excited to announce that the former Dean of the College,
Wallace C. Dunham, and his wife, Janet S. Dunham, have
endowed a new scholarship for the EES program through the
University of Maine Foundation. The Wallace C. and Janet S.
Dunham Ecology and Environmental Sciences Program Scholarship will
be awarded to incoming students "...who demonstrate academic
excellence. Preference shall be given to students who are graduates
of New Jersey or Vermont high schools, because Wallace is a native
of New Jersey and Janet is a native of Vermont."
We are most appreciative of the
generosity of Wally and Janet Dunham. The legacy of Wally's hard
work and innovations as Dean of the College and Director of the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Station continue to be felt today,
well after his retirement. This scholarship endowment and the
Dunham Prize, also endowed in the University of Maine Foundation,
demonstrate the Dunhams' ongoing commitment to students and to the
University of Maine. We are deeply grateful for this gift.
If you would like to contribute to
the Dunham Scholarship endowment and the support it will give to EES
students in the future, please contact Amos Orcutt, President and
CEO of the University of Maine Foundation. (orcutt@maine.edu)
