“We are pleased to award scholarships to these deserving students and are happy to assist them in reaching their academic goals,” said Edward Youdell, president of NBT. “They recognize that skilled manufacturing careers can be rewarding financially and fulfilling personally and will help them be more competitive in the current job market.”
To be eligible for the scholarships, applicants were required to be full-time students meeting a specified minimum GPA and enrolled in an engineering or manufacturing-related course of study or a trade or technical program leading to a career in manufacturing. Students were responsible for submitting academic records and an engineering- or manufacturing-related program description with each application.
In addition to the scholarship, each winner also received from NBT’s industry partner SolidWorks Corp. a copy of its Student Design Kit CAD software package. The Windows®-based 3-D CAD application gives students the ability to create “real-life” 3-D designs they can easily manipulate.
