Stephen Ross Scholarship Fund

Stephen Ross Scholarship Fund assists 1st and 2nd year college students. The fund was established in 1964 after the tragic death of Stephen Ross, the son of Lewis and Gerry Ross. The principal at the time was $1400 in 1968 and as the principal grew scholarships were awarded. The principle now invested with the Maine Community Foundation has grown to $88,882. Over the years many have benefitted from the scholarship. We are grateful when receiving gifts from repeat donors, some being quite substantial, however, any amount given increases the principal enabling us to award larger scholarships. All gifts are acknowledged. Each year some gifts are in memory of loved ones. Gifts may be sent to the Maine Community Foundation designated for the Stephen Ross Scholarship at 245 Main Street, Ellsworth, Maine, 04605 or sent to any member of the committee. Committee members are Kenneth Hamilton, Hartley Brewer, Susan Burgess, Dianne Calder, Mabel Doughty, Betsy Ross and Doug Ross.
