Terex Cranes has committed $21,000 to the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association’s foundation (SC&RA) for a new scholarship program. The donation serves as a multi-year commitment for Terex to help advance the education of SC&RA member company employees and their family members.
“Terex is proud to help the SC&RA foundation create a program that allows for corporate sponsorships, which will add funding stability to its continuing education scholarships programme,” says Frank Bardonaro, vice president and managing director for Terex Cranes North America and 2010-2011 chair for SC&RA’s Crane & Rigging Group. “The foundation is instrumental in assuring success in the education and safety training for the industry.”
To date, Terex Cranes has been joined by three other SC&RA member companies in the scholarship program. The first corporate scholarship will be awarded in 2012. The $21,000 donation, named the Terex Continuing Education Scholarship, will be applied at a rate of $3,000 per year for seven years.
