The Sargent Corporation Scholarship Fund was established in the University of Maine Foundation in 2008 with a gift from the Sargent Corporation. With operations in Bangor, Maine, New England and the Mid-Atlantic, the Sargent Corporation meets the demanding technical challenges of heavy earthwork projects to produce world class results.

The principal shall be endowed and only the income, as established by the University of Maine Foundation Board of Directors, shall be used to provide scholarship aid for deserving graduate or undergraduate students who are the spouses or children of current full-time Sargent Corporation (or its affiliates, including Dirigo Slipform) employees. Applicants may be attending any educational institution offering at least a two year degree, including community colleges and trade schools, but students attending the University of Maine, Orono, are not eligible because of the existence of the Herbert E. Sargent Scholarship at the University of Maine. Selection may be based upon 1) the length of the employee’s service after December 31, 1991; 2) whether the student is pursuing a course of study related to the construction industry; 3) the student’s demonstrated academic merit; and 4) the student’s service to his or her community.

Should it ever become impossible or impractical to carry out the purposes of the Fund as described above, the donor requests that an alternative purpose benefiting the construction field (such as surveying, civil engineering or construction management technology) be designated by the Board of Directors of the University of Maine Foundation in its sole discretion.

The Sargent Corporation Scholarship Fund Selection Committee shall make selection of the recipient(s). The University of Maine Foundation shall administer the income from the fund.
