Arctic Oil & Gas Directory: Crowley awards cadets with scholarships at luncheon

Crowley Maritime Corp. said Dec. 7 that continuing in its tradition of supporting academic excellence, it awarded Thomas B. Crowley Sr. Memorial Scholarships to three deserving cadets from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, N.Y., during the Containerization and Intermodal Institute luncheon in Newark, N.J.

The USMMA cadets, Benjamin Faulter, Megan Laskowsky and Noah Niday, were each selected for their strong academic records, interest in pursuing maritime careers and financial need. Sarah Cross, Crowley’s marine recruiter, presented the scholarships.

Faulter, a native of Maine, is studying to become an officer in the Naval Reserve and aspires to work in other sectors of the maritime industry. After graduation, he hopes to sail U.S. Merchant fleet vessels and upgrade his license.

Laskowsky, a native of Pennsylvania, is studying marine transportation and is in the top 10 percent of her class academically. She has participated in the Regiment of the Midshipmen as regimental logistics officer, and plans to pursue an inland towing career following graduation.

Niday, a native of Texas, is currently enrolled in the USMMA Ship Officer Program. He joined the USMMA after being awarded a congressional nomination to the academy. Upon graduation, he will have earned a third mate’s license and certification as a Qualified Member of the Engine Department. For more information visit www.crowley.com.
