This scholarship, generously funded by donors supporting the Historical Society, seeks to recognize and support a deserving senior from RSU21 in Kennebunk who embodies the values and passions that were dear to Tim. Tim Dietz was more than a local historian; he was a beloved husband, father, author, and dedicated member of the community. Known for his unwavering commitment to enriching his surroundings, Tim’s legacy of generosity and warmth continues to inspire others. This scholarship stands as a tribute to his life and contributions. The Tim Dietz Memorial Scholarship aims to support students who share Tim’s commitment to community service, history, art, and giving back. Eligible candidates must be seniors from RSU21 in Kennebunk and demonstrate active engagement in volunteer work with local organizations. To be considered for this scholarship, candidates must submit a resume highlighting their academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and volunteer experiences, along with a personal statement outlining their commitment to community service and their love for history and art. Additionally, a letter of recommendation from a teacher, mentor, or community leader who can attest to the candidate’s character and contributions is required. Applications for the Tim Dietz Memorial Scholarship are open until April 23. The recipient will be announced at the annual High School awards ceremony at the end of the scholastic calendar. The award will be presented to the candidate’s college in August for the fall semester and in January for the spring semester. Recipients must reapply following the successful completion of the first semester.
