As of July 2011, the Scholarship amount is $2,580 a year or $5,160 over two years.

The Boulos Family Scholarship is for Maine military personnel who served in Iraq or Afghanistan in the post-September 11, 2001 conflicts. Military personnel who served, or are currently serving in the U.S. Military, National Guard or Reserves, and/or those who have been honorably discharged are eligible for the Scholarship.
