dedicated to the memory of Robert W. Therrien Sr.

In 1999 the North East Roofing Educational Foundation was formed as a not-for-profit corporation to provide financial assistance for employees, or immediate family members of employees, of our members seeking post-secondary education in college or vocational programs.  This spring, the Foundation was able to provide twelve scholarships to assist those who might not have otherwise been able to further their education.  Through the generosity of several foundation members, all eleven scholarships were completely funded, but even with their generosity, the Foundation was forced to turn away more than forty deserving applicants. Our goal is to be able to provide additional scholarships to deserving individuals in the years to come.
