Fred Bachmann Sr. Scholarship & Training Fund

“My grandfather was a man of vision and integrity, and there's not a day here that his presence isn't missed. My aunt, uncle, and father started the Fred Bachmann Sr. Scholarship to honor their father's memory and the skills and reliability that he brought to the industry, but also to ensure that he will always remain a part of what Bachmann Construction stands for... Honesty, Integrity, and Teamwork.” - Naomi Stiller-Bachmann, Project Coordinator.

The Fred Bachmann Sr. Scholarship Fund was created in 1997 after our founder, Fred Bachmann Sr., passed away. Each year an Annual Scholarship Golf Outing is held and with the assistance, support, and participation of industry and community members, it has been a stunning success.

The goal of the Fred Bachmann Sr. Scholarship Fund is to promote interest and excellence in the construction industry. With this in mind, the scholarship is awarded to applicants who have shown both of these traits and are beginning an education, or apprenticeship, in the field. The scholarship is intended as start-up capital for tuition, books, tools, etc. With your help, we can help those who wish to carry on the tradition of quality construction and build into the future.

The Fred Bachmann Sr. Scholarship Fund, in partnership with volunteers from Bachmann Construction Company, Inc., holds its Annual Scholarship Golf Outing. After the event, all of the proceeds are donated to the scholarship fund. In the last few years, because of the success of this event, we have been able to award multiple scholarships from the proceeds that were generated.

We are hoping that you and/or your company would consider contributing to the success of our event by making a donation. We are looking for items that can be auctioned off or items to be a part of our raffle and/or door prizes. Items to be donated that have been popular in the past are gift certificates (e.g.; dinner, stores, hotels/resorts, etc.), golf items, tickets to local sporting events, tools, hole sponsorship, etc. The generosity of all corporations, businesses, or private individuals will be recognized and displayed during the golf outing (unless otherwise requested).

The Fred Bachmann Sr. Scholarship Golf Outing is open to anyone. Please feel free to put together a team, or sign up as a single and we will put you on a team. It would be great to see you there. We would like to thank you in advance for your consideration toward donating to this worthy cause. You can submit your donations, interest to participate, or other inquiries to our office.
