Building the best possible Maine

For over 25 years, the Mitchell Institute has continued the work of turning students into Scholars and Scholars into leaders. Every year, we select one graduating senior from every public high school in Maine. Each Scholar is given support that starts with a scholarship, grows into personal and professional support—including leadership skills, professional connections and internships— and becomes part of a network that offers a lifetime of meaningful relationships. We believe every Maine student deserves an opportunity to succeed, and that success impacts not only the Scholar, but the communities we all live in as well.
