"Luci Rothwell has been the perfect example of a student athlete leader and friend in her time at Telstar not only to her peers, but the younger students in our district as well,” says Mark Kenney, Telstar principal. “She is a committed and dedicated student who is going to continue to do great things as she heads off to Husson University in the fall. I am very proud of her and wish her nothing but the best."
Luci is also the first recipient of The River Fund Maine's college scholarship. It's a landmark initiative that focuses on enabling local youth of the Mahoosuc region to achieve educational and career-oriented programs, and one that is deeply rooted in TRFM’s vision and mission. From Bryant Pond, Luci is enrolled in Husson University’s Five-Year Accelerated Program in Occupational Therapy. She is deeply committed to her local community and plans to return to Western Maine to work in OT at a local hospital.
The River Fund Maine Scholarship provides its recipient with up to $20,000 each year for four years toward the cost of college tuition and fees, room and board, books and educational supplies. The River Fund Maine Scholar also has access to financial counseling and professional mentoring.
