The Atlantic FCU Foundation is awarding $20,000 in scholarships to five graduating high school seniors, recognizing students whose academic achievement, service, and leadership distinguished them among this year’s applicants.

The 2026 scholarship recipients represent communities across southern Maine, with Greely High School students earning three of the Foundation’s five awards. Together, the scholarships reflect the Foundation’s continued investment in students at a pivotal moment as they prepare for college and the next stage of their education.

This year’s top scholarship recipients are:

  3. Kacie Lord, Greely High School: $2,500

Each spring, graduating high school seniors who are members of Atlantic are invited to apply for the Atlantic FCU Foundation scholarship program. Applicants are asked to submit an essay, a letter of recommendation from a teacher or school counselor, a resume that includes community service, and an academic transcript. The Atlantic Scholarship Committee reviews each application and selects the recipients.

“Atlantic is committed to helping our members build strong financial futures, and that includes supporting students at an important turning point in their lives,” said Scott Chretien, President & CEO of Atlantic FCU. “These scholarships recognize hard work, character, and the goals these students have set for themselves. We’re proud to support them as they take the next step with purpose.”
