Dr. John Fitzsimmons, president of the Maine Community College System (MCCS), recently accepted a $54,000 donation to the state’s community colleges from the Maine Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC). The gift will be used to fund an endowed scholarship for female students from Maine who are enrolled in construction-related courses and programs. The first awards will be made in the fall of 2009 and will be used to provide emergency financial assistance and scholarships to qualifying students who demonstrate financial need.
The state’s community colleges offer construction-related programs that include residential and commercial construction, masonry, welding and metal fabrication, electrical construction and maintenance, and numerous others. The NAWIC donation will initially fund about $2,500 in annual financial assistance.
