Harvey Picker Horizon Scholarship Program

English Creole French Spanish

As the leading workers’ compensation insurer in Northern New England and one of the fastest growing in the country, MEMIC’s mission is to eliminate workplace injuries. Despite improvements in safety, workers still suffer serious injury, even death, in the workplace every day in the United States.

The Harvey Picker Horizon Scholarship Program was created to assist the children and spouses of workers who have died or suffered permanent disability due to a work-related injury. It is MEMIC’s hope that these scholarship awards for higher education may help fulfill the aspirations of those whose lives have been disrupted as a result of workplace injury or death.

How do I apply?

Submissions for the 2024 award are now closed. Submissions for the 2025 award will open in February 2025. Stay tuned to this page for more information.
