Scholarship Funds
Betty H. MacRae Fund: This renewable scholarship supports year-round residents of Islesboro, preferably female, age 23 and over who are pursuing career-related post-secondary education. This may include online coursework, professional training and /or certification, college courses, continuing education credits, licensing programs, or any other type of study to enhance and maintain employment. This scholarship is not limited to graduates of Islesboro Central School, and is for those students for whom a scholarship would make a significant difference in their ability to attend the program of their choice.
Born in Candler, Florida, a town founded by her grandfather, Bettie was raised in Florida and California and lived for many years in Pennsylvania. Later in her life, she found her way to Islesboro, Maine, and lived on the island for 35 years, initially during the summer and later as a year-round resident.
Her life was characterized by a deep interest in arts and culture. She was a collector of antiques and works of art. She befriended and provided for many especially as she grew older and developed friendships across generations. Bettie nurtured a deep love of nature, loved living near the ocean and cultivating a lifelong knowledge and appreciation for trees, plants and flowers.
This memorial scholarship fund is created by Bettie's three children, Pamela, Charlotte and Christopher, and is directed to the year-round community of Islesboro in appreciation for the many quiet kindnesses of friendship offered to Bettie over the years.
Ober-Hubbard Fund: This scholarship supports students 23 years of age or older who reside on Islesboro or are graduates of Islesboro Central School (ICS) and who are pursuing projects or courses of study intended to help them focus and further a life passion. Preference will be given to applicants who have overcome personal adversity, embody humanity with kindness and humor, and are keen to master something new.
Diane Ober grew up on Islesboro and graduated from the Islesboro Central School. An adventurous individual, she was a gifted guitarist and singer. Kevin Hubbard, the husband of a longtime friend of Diane, often visited the island. A guitarist, he was also a graphic artist and sportswriter who became a college graduate in his 40s. This fund was established to honor the “blue sky thinking” that both practiced in their lives and activities.
