Program to help parents save for college

FORT KENT – Northern Maine Medical Center soon will be participating in the Alfond Foundation campaign to encourage parents to save for their child’s college education.

The foundation will provide a $500 scholarship gift to be invested in a NextGen College Investing Plan account for each newborn Maine resident. The first phase of the Harold Alfond College Challenge was launched Jan. 1 at MaineGeneral Health in Waterville. By January 2009, the program will expand statewide. All accounts must be opened before the child’s 1st birthday.

For information, contact NMMC at 834-3155.
