The Little Sebago Lake Association Scholarship Award To help support our local communities and to encourage lake stewardship, the Board of Directors created a new scholarship in 2015. The goal of this scholarship is to assist graduating high school students who enroll in a college program to pursue a degree in general environmental sciences, water quality or watershed management. Up to two $500 scholarships will be awarded each year, one to a graduating senior from Windham High School and one from Gray-New Gloucester High School. Last spring, we were very pleased to award the fifth annual (2019) scholarship to two most deserving students. The scholarship winner from Windham High School was Thomas Lekousi, a student who has a passion for the outdoors and a strong interest in environmental protection and advocacy. At WHS, he was a member of the National Honor Society, the Spanish Honor Society and was active in Be The Influence as well as playing hockey and lacrosse. This fall Thomas is attending the University of Maine to study Environmental Engineering. The recipient of the Gray-New Gloucester High School scholarship was Janelle Gavett who is attending the University of Maine at Farmington to study Earth & Environmental Sciences. At GNGHS, Janelle played in the band for 3 years as well as indoor and outdoor track and field hockey as an underclassman. She has a true passion for the outdoors and especially for camping and hiking in the mountains of New Hampshire.

We are proud to help support these hard-working students as they pursue their education and careers.
