Cumberland Farms has announced the application period for the third year of its Believe and Achieve Scholarship will open Oct. 15. The program provides individual $1,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors bound for college.

The Believe and Achieve Scholarship program is open to students who live within 30 miles of any Cumberland Farms outlet. The scholarship program is also open to children of Cumberland Farms employees.

While the initiative takes academic performance into account, the award also considers the student’s financial need. Information about the Believe and Achieve Scholarship, including entry criteria and deadlines, is available online at www.cumberlandfarms.com, as well as in all Cumberland Farms’ store locations.

Applications can be submitted online through www.CumberlandFarms.com and will be open until Dec. 15.
