Maine babies to get 529 boost from Alfond Foundation

(January 8, 2008) - A Maine foundation set up by the late Harold Alfond, founder of Dexter Shoe Co., is starting a scholarship program that will provide babies born in Maine with a $500 contribution to Maine's NextGen 529 plan. The invested monies will be available to pay for the beneficiary's college expenses.

The Alfond Scholarship Foundation will start on a limited basis in 2008 and roll out to a state-wide program in 2009. Contributions are expected to reach $7-$9 million per year.
