Crowley Awards Four Scholarships to Maine Maritime Cadets

Helping to develop the next generation of U.S. merchant mariners is of vital importance to Crowley, the maritime industry and the nation at large. Since 1984, Crowley has provided more than $3 million dollars in scholarship funding for more than 1,000 students. The company has also donated more than $2 million over the years to support other educational programs.
In 1994, Chairman and CEO Tom Crowley Jr., established the Thomas B.
