announce that Capt. Sherri Hick-
man '85 and her daughter, Coronado
Hickman '16, have decided to generously
contribute to Maine Maritime Academy with a
$100,000 scholarship. The Advancement team has
worked with Capt. Hickman for years in areas of
giving at MMA, but four years ago we discussed
something big that would cement the family's
legacy and have an impact on students for years
to come.
We are humbled and excited that those
conversations have led us to this point and that
the Hickmans' idea of giving back something
substantial to MMA has come to fruition. "We
are in serious need of scholarship dol ars here at
the Academy and we can't think of a better way
for Sherri and Coronado to have an immediate
impact on the current student body," said Vice
President for Advancement Chris Haley.
The Advancement team was also pleased to
learn that the Academy is in Capt. Hickman's
estate plans, as she has a planned gift to Mariner
Athletics in the amount of $100,000 that wil
further enhance what we do in the future for our
student-athletes. "We certainly hope these gifts
inspire more alumni to get involved and impact

the lives of current and future Mariners here at
the Academy," said Haley.
