The Sandra Merrill Peters and John G. Peters Humanities Scholarship Fund

During the spring of 2017, the MHC (then UMHC) Executive Board members established a new scholarship fund for a humanities student.

Sandy Peters (English B.A.’69; MEd ’72) and her husband John Peters (Economics B.A. ’69; MA ’73) have shown exemplary generosity by establishing a new scholarship fund to be awarded to a deserving University of Maine first-year undergraduate coming from a Maine high school or college preparatory school who chooses to major in a humanities field (Art History, Communication and Journalism, English, French, History, Romance Languages, Spanish, or Philosophy) in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

The Sandra Merrill Peters and John G. Peters Humanities Scholarship Fund does the important work of supporting a student in the study of the humanities. It also sends the timely message that engaged and important members of our community value this choice. The Center is so very grateful to the Peters for their gift.
