This scholarship, established in 1989, is the second scholarship funded by Admiral Reider. Admiral Reider was the first president of the Seabee Memorial Scholarship Association (Now the Navy Seabee Foundation) and was instrumental in building the Seabee Memorial. He entered the Navy in 1942 as an Ensign and served with U. S. Navy Construction Battalion 301 in Saipan, Tinian, Guam, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He was the first commander of the First Reserve Naval Construction Brigade and retired from the Navy in 1973.
Endowed Scholarships allow our investors to build a lasting legacy, impacting Seabee children and grandchildren for generations to come. Endowed Scholarships often honor or memorialize family members, Seabee leaders, NAVFAC units, organizations or corporations. Perpetual Named scholarships can be funded at three levels, $60,000, $120,000 and $150,000 and are named by the donor.
