ChrisAlice Undergraduate Scholarship
University of Southern Maine
Description
The ChrisAlice Endowed Scholarship was established in 2002 by James and Lillian Haversat, named in honor of Alice Haversat, mother of James Haversat, and Christina Kerr Kasfeldt, mother of Lillian Kerr Haversat. Both women served their communities and were role models for citizens aspiring to community service. This scholarship provides continuing support for students to engage in service with their local communities and is intended to foster awareness of local critical issues, cultivate community, and contribute to the retention of students.
