Through scholarship support and one-on-one mentorship, the TramutoPorter Foundation helps students move through college with confidence, connection, and a clearer path toward their goals.

The Foundation provides financial grants and mentorship for graduating high school seniors who have faced special challenges. Students are chosen based on their academic success and the effort and determination they have shown in facing these challenges. Scholarship, involvement in school and community activities, personal character, leadership qualities, and demonstrated financial need are considered.

Each year, two high school seniors from Wells-Ogunquit High School and Bangor High School receive a $20,000 scholarship, distributed as $5,000 per year, to support tuition and other college expenses at the college or university of their choice.

In keeping with the Foundation’s mission to recognize human need and respond with meaningful support, each scholarship includes a required mentorship component. Recipients are paired with a Tramuto Foundation mentor from the Board of Directors, who provides guidance throughout their college years and beyond. All scholarship recipients must participate in the mentoring program.
