In 2007, Patriot Mutual Holding Company merged into Frankenmuth Mutual Insurance Company, with Frankenmuth being the surviving company and owner of Patriot's two wholly owned subsidiaries, Patriot Insurance Company and Patriot Life Insurance Company, both Maine-domiciled companies. Frankenmuth, founded on the tradition of neighbor helping neighbor, is committed to supporting graduates of Maine high schools pursuing a degree in business at a college or university in Maine, and, to that end, has established the Patriot Education Scholarship Fund at the Maine Community Foundation. Applicants must be graduating seniors of Maine high schools, or graduates within four years of the date of application, who are currently enrolled in a college or university pursuing a degree in business. There is a preference for applicants who have a demonstrated interest in personal and commercial insurance professions. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Maine Community Foundation, Inc. for more information.
