Team Eagle Foundation and NJMEP Announce the Bob Beaman B-Involved Scholarship Winners
NJMEP and Team Eagle Foundation have selected nine Award Winners from the 31 Applications for the 2017 Bob Beaman ‘B-Involved’ Scholarships.
NJMEP is a not-for-profit company that works with New Jersey’s manufacturers to help them become more efficient, profitable and globally competitive. The LEDR Program (www.ledr-tef.org) is a real-world Young Adult Mentoring Effort that recently completed its sixth year of operation, and has a focus on Post-Secondary Education, Government, Service, Business & STEM. The program accepts statewide nominations for those NJ Residents between 15 to 20 years of age, male & female that attend at no-cost – and – now has 218 Alumni from 19 out of 21 NJ Counties. All Alumni, Staff, Boy & Girl Scouts that have supported the program can apply annually for Scholarships that honor Bob Beaman – a long-time Boy Scout Volunteer and a LEDR Founding Board Member who passed away in 2015. NJMEP supports this endeavor through its Manufacturing Cares initiative.

Coupled with NJMEP’s Anthony DeSantis Service to America Scholarships that were awarded at Manufacturing Day, these educational Scholarships and Grants have just exceeded $70,000.
The annual Jersey Guys Golf Outing (held in late July) provides significant financial support for the two Scholarships as 100 percent of all proceeds go directly to them.
