Maine Beer Company has given the University of Southern Maine a $100,000 gift to create an internship and scholarship fund program.

The university said the gift will create a pilot program for its students that includes a paid internship with Maine Beer Company and a scholarship of up to $5,000 per academic year.

The program is set to launch this spring.
