UMaine Commits $17,000 in Student Scholarships for MLTI Attendees
The University of Maine has committed $1,000 in scholarships for 17 students who win a drawing during the 9th Annual Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI) Student Conference Thursday at UMaine. Ten scholarships are bring offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, five from the School of Computing and Information Science, and two from the College of Education and Human Development, for 17 students who commit to attending the University of Maine, apply and are accepted, and enroll after high school.
More than 1,000 middle and high school students from throughout the state will gather at UMaine’s Collins Center for the Arts and other locations on campus for the conference. The conference will feature more than 30 technology-driven, educational sessions led by professionals from as far away as California and as close as University of Maine faculty members. A highlight of the day will be a unique recording adventure involving all of the students creating and playing synchronized music on laptop keyboard programs.
