Sarah Holbrook is a biology major and neuroscience minor at the University of Maine, and is the recipient of the Smith & Charlene McIntire Scholarship for the 2015/16 academic year. Sarah is from Fort Fairfield, Me., and is a first-generation college student. She is slated to graduate in 2017, and is very thankful for all of her scholarship support.
“If it wasn’t for scholarships and support such as you have provided, I wouldn’t be able to have the education, experience or opportunities I am having right now. For instance, with the help of financial aid, I am able to conduct research in a chytrid laboratory and a mouse chronopsychobiology lab and take a physics class.
It has been a lot of work and the classes of 300+ students are very different from what I’m used to in the County, but it’s been a lot of fun and I cherish every moment I’ve had here.
Thank you once again.”
