Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) and the Brunswick Foundation recently awarded $56,000 in scholarships to assist with college tuition fees to 28 sons and daughters of employees of dealers who participate in Brunswick Dealer Advantage. The number of awards increased from last year to accommodate expansion of Brunswick Dealer Advantage, which in addition to qualifying marine dealers in the United States also includes Brunswick marine dealers in Canada as well as Brunswick Billiards dealers and Life Fitness dealers in both countries.
Students eligible for scholarships included those whose parent(s) are employees of dealerships that sell qualified Brunswick brands and participate as Gold or Platinum dealers in Brunswick Dealer Advantage. In addition to the scholarship program, Brunswick Dealer Advantage offers a range of benefits and services designed to address the operational, customer and employee needs of independent Brunswick dealers.
"In the wake of rising college tuition, I am truly appreciative for the opportunity to apply and receive a Brunswick scholarship,” said scholarship recipient Annie McCarthy. Annie’s family has owned and operated McCarthy’s Marine in Brielle, N.J., for more than 60 years. “I encourage all eligible students to partake in this advantage. I would like to thank Brunswick for their continued support of their dealers and employees in the pursuit of higher education.”
Scholarships were awarded based on the applicant's academic record and leadership abilities as demonstrated by extracurricular activities. The $2,000 scholarships apply toward achievement of baccalaureate degrees.
“Brunswick is committed to helping its dealers and their families realize their dreams,” said Russ Lockridge, vice president and chief human resources officer for Brunswick Corporation.
“For more than 50 years, the Brunswick Foundation has contributed to the charitable interests of its employees and the communities in which they live,” said Adrian Sakowicz, president of the Brunswick Foundation as well as Brunswick’s vice president - strategic partnerships. “Our contribution to the Dealer Sons and Daughters scholarship program helps prepare our next generation of leaders.”
Scholarship recipients were selected by an impartial, external committee comprised of academic professionals from Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Ind., and Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wis.
