POLAND – Poland Spring Water Company recently awarded 20 Good Science Scholarships to Maine high school seniors who are pursuing post-secondary education in science, engineering or the environment. Each scholarship of $1,000 is meant to support the students as they continue on to the next stage of their academic career. Scholarships were given to five members of Poland Regional High School’s Class of 2012.

Respect and responsibility for the environment is at the core of Poland Spring’s business, and a value the company works to pass on to the next generation of Maine stewards. To that end, in 2007 Poland Spring established the Good Science Scholarship program and has since awarded nearly $95,000 to high school seniors pursuing a degree in science, engineering or the environment.

All five Poland Regional High School scholarship winners and their families attended a celebratory dinner at the Poland Spring bottling plant in Poland. The evening’s festivities included a guided tour of the bottling facility and an opportunity to meet plant staff and management.

The recipients are Lindsey Cyr, Minot, who will study nursing at St. Joseph’s College of Maine; Chad Davis, Mechanic Falls, Wentworth Institute of Technology, Massachusetts, engineering; Katie Love, Minot, St. Joseph’s College of Maine, nursing; Jacob MacDonald, Poland, Bowdoin College, pre-med; Kaitlyn Roy, Mechanic Falls, Emmanuel College, Massachusetts, pre-med.
