In honor of Rick Taylor, our founder, father, leader, teacher and friend, Earthborne is proud to continue his passionate legacy for teaching through the Rick Taylor Memorial Scholarship. Rick felt that Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport was one of the best programs in the state for diesel technology. He believed the next great generation of diesel technicians were being developed at this school. His natural ability when it came to mechanics and engineering lead to his passion for trucks and equipment, hence the creation of Earthborne over 50 years ago. His abilities fueled the company's growth for decades and built the foundation for a grand future underneath this brand.
We are proud to be connected with the AED Foundation to offer this scholarship to two deserving candidates each year. The scholarship recipients are full-time students with a major/focus in Diesel Technology or Heavy Construction Equipment Technology
The first scholarships were awarded this past summer to some very deserving candidates. If you would like to donate in Rick's memory, please go to pct.edu/give and choose the ‘Make a Gift’ option. From there you’ll find the ‘Rick Taylor Memorial Scholarship’.
