G
iving a donation to the silent
auction at the Best of the Best Gala
on Monday, August 20, 5:30 to 8:00
p.m. or bidding on an item in the silent
auction raises funds to support local
scholarships for students at the University
of Maine Hutchinson Center. In 2012
over $7,000 was raised and given as
scholarships to local students.
But more than money goes along
with those scholarships. Someone who
couldn’t imagine being able to go to
college due to the cost, now takes a
giant step towards fulfilling their dream
of a college education.
Getting a scholarship is a pat on
the back, a vote of confidence, an
amazing and encouraging message
that someone believes in you and your
ability to succeed.
A scholarship expands horizons,
changes lives forever and makes
learning a new skill or pursuing a career
possible.
The college education that
scholarships provide improves the life
of not only the recipient but also the
lives of their family members, present
and future, by increasing their potential
income and significantly decreasing the
chance that they will be laid off from a
job.
For those who have so generously
given items for the silent auction and for
those who have bid on silent auction
items, we gratefully acknowledge your
gift.
You have made a difference.
Come to the Best of the Best and
Business Showcase Gala on Monday,
August 20 at the University of Maine
Hutchinson Center from 5:30 – 8:00 p.m.,
join in the fun and bid on the many
useful items, gift certificates and special
opportunities there, and change a life!

UMAINE HUTCHINSON CENTER scholarship opportunities
T
he University of Maine Hutchinson Center and
several donors offer a number of scholarship
opportunities to Hutchinson Center students.
Scholarship awards will depend on the amount
of money available and the number of qualified
recipients. The scholarships are need-based. We
sincerely thank our benefactors who truly believe
in education and in providing scholarships to
those who might otherwise not be able to take a
college course or continue pursuing their degree.
q Shirley and Ronald Jarvella
The Jarvellas know the struggles families have
balancing the many facets of their lives. Ron
and Shirley have chosen their scholarship to
benefit those who are raising their family alone,
yet know the value and importance of a college
education. Single head of household (single
mom or dad with children), part-time student,
taking three credits or more UMaine Orono,
course at the Hutchinson Center.
q Best of the Best Scholarship
Established in 2007, the Best of the Best

Waldo County residents. In four years, scholarship
fundraising has garnered more than $32,000.
q Fred Hutchinson
Fred Hutchinson grew up in Atkinson and served
as the president of the University of Maine from
1992-1997. He credited his education at the

his life and chose to offer this scholarship to pass
the opportunity on to those who follow him. First

The purpose of the Fund is to assist Maine
residents in need as they pursue their college

undergraduate or graduate course offered in
Belfast at the Hutchinson Center.
q Pete and Ann Bixler
Pete and Ann Bixler have lived on the Maine
coast for 40 years. Holding doctor of science
and master of arts degrees respectively,
they have experienced the benefits strong
educations bring. They have also seen the
negative effects of a weak education, especially
for working people in the Midcoast area. Their
scholarship aims to help these people by
making the University of Maine programs at the
Hutchinson Center available to them through
financial aid.
q Andrew E. Kuby, Jr. Memorial
(Belfast Rotary Scholarship Fund)

Club values the ideals of personal character,
academic achievement and service to the
community and looks for these qualities in its
awardees.
