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.
Making a difference for over 25 years:

Meet a Mitchell Scholar
There are currently 550 Mitchell Scholars in college, hailing from every corner of the state. We’ve selected four Scholars to represent this impressive group. Please take a moment and get to know them—the future of Maine couldn’t be any brighter.
25 Inspiring Stories
Receiving so much more than a scholarship, Mitchell Scholars join a family—a family with members from every walk of life, from every county in Maine. For over 25 years, it’s been our privilege to support these leaders through college and in their careers that follow. To celebrate, we are featuring 25 of our Alumni: each a success in their own right, each one putting Maine in the best state.
