Ellis among first to earn degree under Maine’s Top Scholars program
Katelyn Ellis of Dixfield, who will graduate this summer with a Bachelor of Arts in kinesiology, is one of the first students to earn their degree from the 91±¬ÁÏ under the Maine’s Top Scholar (MTS) program. MTS began in 2017, and provides high-achieving undergraduates with full tuition, a designated faculty mentor and opportunities for research experience. They’re also invited to join the Honors College. Ellis says, “It [MTS scholarship] allowed me to study hard and pursue my dreams without the stress of debt.”
More than 100 students are currently designated Maine’s Top Scholars. And they’re taking courses in a number of academic areas, including the College of Education and Human Development, College of Engineering, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, College of Natural Sciences, Forestry, and Agriculture; the Honors College; and the Maine Business School.
