Versant Power NMCC Foundation scholarship increases in eligibility and funding
Presque Isle, Maine – Versant Power worked with the Northern Maine Community College (NMCC) Foundation to expand eligibility criteria for its scholarship fund. While the fund was originally reserved primarily for electrical students, it is now open to those studying accounting, automotive technology, business administration, diesel hydraulics, electrical construction & maintenance, cybersecurity, office administration, trade and technical occupations and wind power.
“The scholarship criteria are now more representative of the energy industry and the variety of backgrounds that make up the Versant Power team,” said Versant Power President John Flynn. “We also saw this as the perfect opportunity to expand the scholarship and make a $5,000 contribution in honor of highly regarded community and business leader, former President of Maine Public Service Brent Boyles.”
The additional funds and expanded criteria will help even more NMCC students throughout the calendar year. Versant Power has strong ties to the college and many Versant Power employees, directors and family members have relied on NMCC for their educational success. Their programs will continue to train future Versant team members.
“These changes expand support for students pursuing career paths that our community depends on. We all benefit from more skilled workers in these critical fields,” said NMCC Foundation Executive Director Griffin Goins. “We’re grateful for Versant’s commitment to NMCC students and the future of our community.”
Established in 1988, the endowment scholarship continues to provide funding to deserving students pursuing degrees in the energy industry. For more information or to apply for the Versant Power Scholarship, please visit the NMCC Foundation website or call 207.768.2809.
