Student Sponsors Recognized at Annual Banquet

Mr. Enterline from N.N.B. and Taylor Geib

    The Future Machinist Sponsorship Program (FMSP) was made official this past week when all of the company sponsors were recognized at an annual scholarship banquet.  Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology (TSCT) holds an annual banquet to recognize scholarship donors and this marked the first year that the FMSP was included. 
    In its first year, nine companies stepped forward to sponsor an incoming freshman and a total of ten students received a sponsorship ranging from $1000 to $1500.  Also included with the monetary award is a guarantee of employment during the summer months between semesters. 
    Sponsored students also received company shirts that are worn in place of the required uniform worn in the Machine Tool Program.  With many of the students wearing company shirts in the lab, it emphasizes to visitors the ongoing participation of local companies and the Machine Tool Program at TSCT.
