The guiding principle of FOM’s scholarship program is to support both traditional four-year applicants as well as trade school and certificate program applicants. Friends of Mascoma celebrates the pursuit of all forms of higher education.

The number of scholarships and dollar amount awarded is dependent on available funds each year.
