Each honoree will receive $5,000 to be used toward their college education. The award is renewable, thus over a four-year period, they are eligible for a total of $20,000 toward their educational expenses.
Greg Keown, President, Wieland Rolled Products North America, said, “We feel it is important to continue our tradition of supporting our employees’ families and there is not a better investment that we can make than the education of their children.”
Wieland’s scholarship program has a two-fold objective: 1) to recognize, through financial assistance, sons and daughters of employees who have demonstrated an ability to achieve academic excellence, and 2) to demonstrate the Company’s commitment to support higher education. The continuing nature of the program, with its renewable scholarships, assures the Company of an opportunity to commit up to $80,000 per year toward the achievement of this objective.
