Pennsylvania College of Technology students received more than a third of all scholarships from a foundation devoted to skilled manufacturing careers.
Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs – the foundation of the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association International – awarded the $1,500-$2,500 scholarships to full-time undergraduate students enrolled in a certificate or degree program leading to a manufacturing career.
Penn College students earned 12 of the 30 NBT scholarships for the Spring 2023 semester, more than any other school.
“For the past few years, Penn College students have led the nation in the number of scholarships received from NBT,” said Bradley M. Webb, dean of engineering technologies. “That fact reflects the hands-on, technical training and strong theoretical base that they receive at the college. We are very proud of these tomorrow makers who recognize the promise of manufacturing careers. Industry covets Penn College graduates, who play a vital role in shrinking the skills gap.”
According to a study by Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute, 2.1 million manufacturing jobs could go unfilled by 2030.
Penn College NBT scholarship recipients include welding & fabrication engineering technology students Dylan M. Berguson, of Jersey Shore; Kayla N. Berry, of Waldorf, Maryland; Michael A. Fuccile, of Conyngham; William G. Makovsky, of Coplay; Cierra D. Miller, of Dover; Jason S. Theodore, of St. George’s, Grenada; and Matthew J. Woolcock, of Oil City.
Other recipients are Casey B. Campbell, of Kennerdell, engineering design technology; Caleb D. Coots, of Tioga, metal fabrication technology; Alec D. Rees, of Centerport, New York, manufacturing engineering technology; Lauryn A. Stauffer, of Bath, automation engineering technology: robotics & automation; and Jack J. Stump, of York, machine tool technology.
Earlier this year, NBT bestowed its Future of Industry Award to Penn College in recognition of the institution’s summer pre-college program that introduces high school students to various facets of manufacturing.
