The Julio Society 

The Julio Society is a non-profit organization entirely controlled by a volunteer Board of Directors, most of them residing in Washington County, Maine.  Through a sponsorship by the City of Calais, a partnership was created with the Down East RC&D, who made it one of their area projects in order to provide grantwriting assistance using their non-profit 501(c)(3) status, to prepare press releases about the Society and award recipients, and to get the word out about the Society.

The Savings Bank of Maine is allowing the Society to use their mailing address for citizens in Washington County, Maine, to submit names and supporting materials for the Citizenship Award and/or the Julio Helping Wing Scholarship.  What is important here is that any citizen may nominate any student as a recipient as long as they meet the criteria.

The Julio Good Citizen Award (click on link for information) needs no formal application.  A letter stating the student's name and the deed(s) that person has done, or is still doing, along with sufficient background information about the nominee that could be used in a press release, is all that is required.  The Julio Society does not give any favor or preference based on a person's family name, a student's scholastic achievement, nor economic status--IT'S THE DEED THAT COUNTS (nothing else).

The Julio Helping Wing Scholarship (click on link for information and application), by contrast, has a formal application that is available here online or  from any high school guidance counselor in Washington County, Maine.  It is also available by contacting the Down East RC&D Office at 546-2368 (email: dercd@downeastrcd.com).


The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in its programs on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, and marital or familial status. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs). Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communication of program information (braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact the USDA's TARGET Center at  (202) 720-2600, (voice and TDD).

To file a complaint, write the Secretary of Agriculture, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, DC 20250, or call 1-800-245-6340  (voice) or (202) 720-1127 (TDD).  USDA is an equal employment opportunity employer.
