Acadia FCU is proud to announce the recipients of its 2026 scholarship program, awarding a total of $17,000 to five exceptional graduating seniors pursuing higher education.
Acadia FCU’s annual scholarship program reflects the credit union’s long-standing commitment to investing in students and helping them achieve their educational goals. This year, the credit union awarded four $3,000 Acadia FCU scholarships and the $5,000 Peter Saucier Memorial Scholarship.
Recipients of the four Acadia FCU scholarships were selected through a competitive application process that considered academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, a written essay, and personal accomplishments.
The Peter Saucier Memorial Scholarship was established in honor of the late Peter Saucier, a cherished Acadia FCU Board member and community volunteer remembered for his kindness, generosity, and resolute positivity. Awarded annually to a graduating senior at Fort Kent Community High School, the scholarship recognizes students who reflect Peter’s spirit of compassion, resilience, and service to others. The recipient is selected by a committee that includes at least one member of the Saucier family.

- Carley Andrews
- Zoë Daigle
- Ava Lerman
- Wyatt Wilson
