THE MARY BEAL SCHOLARSHIP
The Mary Beal Scholarship, established in 1991 to commemorate Beal College’s
year, as well as to honor Mary Beal who founded Beal College in 1891, is awarded
to Maine high school seniors. This year, five $500.00 scholarships will be awarded.
In addition to being a Maine high school senior, the applicant must intend to
enroll at Beal College for Mod 6 (July) or Mod 1 (September) of that year and be in
good academic standing. Scholarship winners, chosen by the Scholarship Committee
whose decision is based upon the quality, content and grammar of the essay as well as
financial need and past academic performance, will be notified by the beginning of
June.
Scholarships are awarded after successful completion of two Mods at Beal
College and will be applied to the student’s account toward third Mod charges. Once
the student is attending Beal College, he/she must maintain a minimum cumulative
grade point average of 2.25.
