RACINE, WI -- Modine Manufacturing Co. has announced the 2006 recipients of the Arthur B. Modine Scholars program, funded by the Modine Manufacturing Co. Charity Foundation. The scholarships are named after the engineer and inventor who founded Modine 90 years ago, Arthur B. Modine.

These scholarships are available to children of full-time Modine employees at the corporate headquarters in Racine and at any of the 20 manufacturing facilities or Modine subsidiaries in the United States. The scholarships range from $1,000 to $2,500 per year for four years.

Since 1976, Modine has awarded the scholarships on an annual basis, through the National Merit Scholarship Program. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation in Evanston, IL, an independent, not-for-profit organization whose purposes are to identify and honor talented high school students, selected the winners. It also determines the dollar amount of the awards.

The scholarships originate from Modine's core values of "Responsible Relationships," by rewarding employees for their contributions to the success of the company, and "Corporate Citizenship," by supporting the communities where our operations exist. "Modine is dedicated to continuously improving as a company. In the same way, we are dedicated to helping the children of our employee's improve through higher education. The A.B. Modine Scholars Program gives us an opportunity to reward our employee's children for their hard work, and gives these outstanding students assistance in pursuing their dreams," said Dean Zakos, vice president, general counsel and secretary.
