On December 8, 2023, The Northern Kentucky University Haile College of Business proudly unveiled two brand-new scholarships dedicated to students pursuing excellence in the Construction Management Program. These scholarships are part of the LIFT (Lifelong Investment and Future Transformation) Scholars program that was established by Northern Kentucky University in 2019. Paul Hemmer Company, and Paul and Mary Hemmer will be endowing one out of the two $50,000 scholarships to a student enrolled in the construction management program at Northern Kentucky University.

            “NKU’s Construction Management Program provided the springboard for me to launch my career in the industry.” Stated Kolston Marshall, An NKU Alumni, and current Director of Field Operations/Sr. Project Manager at Paul Hemmer Company. “The establishment of this scholarship will help the university to continue on its mission of preparing the next generation of local leaders to make a positive impact on the region.”

The company has consistently recognized the quality of education provided by NKU and has actively recruited many of its alumni. This correlative relationship has not only strengthened the ties between the company and the university but has also contributed to the growth and success of many NKU graduates. This scholarship is assured to make a lasting impact on the education and future of construction management.
