The 2025 Maine Family FCU Scholarship application period is closed. Recipients will be notified by Friday, April 18, 2025, and announced publicly in late April/early May. The 2026 Maine Family FCU Scholarship applications will open in January 2026.
Maine Family Federal Credit Union began its scholarship program to acknowledge our student members’ accomplishments and support their continued education and training beyond high school. Each spring, we award three (3) scholarships named after the founders and impactful past leaders of Maine Family Federal Credit Union:
The Founders Scholarship Award for $2,500
The Maurice Fontaine Sr. Scholarship Award for $2,500
The Roger Bissonnette Scholarship Award for $2,500
The award winners are selected by a committee and are announced each April. The scholarship money will be paid directly to the student prior to the start of the second semester to help with any college-related expenses. Prior to payment, we require the scholarship winner to share their first-semester grades with us to remain qualified for the scholarship. Anyone pursuing higher education at an accredited institution can apply, regardless of if they have applied and/or won in previous years. Maine Family FCU is proud to recognize the achievements of deserving students of any age or stage of life in our community.
Completed application and essay must be received no later than Friday, March 28, 2025. Applications may be emailed to marketing@mainefamilyfcu.com, delivered in person, or mailed to the Credit Union at 555 Sabattus Street, Lewiston, ME 04240, ATTN: Scholarship Committee. Applications can also be submitted online. Be sure to attach a copy of the letter of acceptance from the College or University of choice and three letters of recommendation from teachers, counselors, or community leaders.
Applications will be sent collectively to the Scholarship Committee after the application deadline. Judging is based on information gathered through the application — motivation to continue education, achievements (honors, awards), extracurricular activities, work or volunteer experience, references, and the written essay (Transcripts will NOT be reviewed as part of the scholarship application). The essay is judged on content, creativity, and clarity. Spelling, grammatical, or typographical errors may impact your entry. Scholarship winners will be notified personally by Friday, April 18, 2025. Winners will be asked to submit a photo for publication on our website, social media channels, and local newspapers.
Maine Family Federal Credit Union reserves the right to discontinue this scholarship program at any time without notice. Maine Family Federal Credit Union reserves the right not to award any scholarships should there be no qualified applicants.

I've been with Maine Family for a long time, you guys are always there for me and have been a great support while trying to build my credit. You treat me fairly and make me feel comfortable in sharing my story.Edward F.
My experience with getting a loan was super easy, Danielle made the process smooth and was extremely professional and responsive to correspondence. I enjoyed the experience so much I sent my girlfriend to Maine Family recently to get an auto loan through Danielle as well. She's a great employee!Michael L.

My husband and I have been using Maine Family FCU for over 20 years. We have trusted them with all our banking needs in the course of those years and have been very pleased with the customer service we have received. Over the past several months, we have reached out to different departments and have been given such amazing customer service. Their service has been so remarkable that we have now started our family’s next generation with all of their banking needs with Maine Family FCU with our continued trust in them!Kacey
I have nothing but high praise for the staff at the Auburn branch of MFFCU. For over 17 years I have been a loyal member. Any time I (or my son) have needed assistance from the loan department both you and Sue M. have been extremely helpful and friendly. I look forward to many more years as a member.Thomas F.
Maine Family Federal Credit Union has been an outstanding financial partner. Their rates are some of the best around, whether you’re looking for a loan, savings account, or mortgage. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful—they take the time to explain your options and make sure you’re getting the best fit for your needs. It’s refreshing to work with a team that truly cares about their members. Highly recommend!Chris H.
