Wengers of Myerstown is pleased to announce that that one of our own has received a 2020 NTPDA Scholarship. Morgan Wood, daughter of Brian Wood from our Construction Equipment Division, was recently awarded a $2,000.00 scholarship. We wish Morgan much success as she attends Lancaster Career and Technology Center to pursue a degree in Veterinarian Technician. Best wishes Morgan!!

 

These scholarships are awarded to deserving students who are NTPDA members, employees of members, or dependents of members or employees. Scholarship applications are open to U.S. and Canadian graduating high school students, or current college students, enrolling full-time (12 or more credit hours), toward a diploma or degree at an accredited college or university. Completed applications must be accompanied by written verification of affiliation with a NTPDA member company and a Recommendation Letter from someone outside of the sponsoring company or your family.

 

Scholarship awards are based on academic achievement, extra-curricular/community activities, evidence of leadership, work experience, short- and long-term career goals, and the applicant's overall response to each of the questions on the application. Financial need is not considered in the review process and there is no distinction made on race, religion or gender of the applicant.

 

The selection process is an extremely difficult one because of the many outstanding applicants each year.  Therefore, great care is taken to assure that impartial and unprejudiced choices are made. Applications are sent to the NTPDA office where they are logged in and noted with the date received and assigned a student code. The numbered applications are then sent to the Scholarship Committee and the original kept in the NTPDA office. Based on the criteria above, the committee then ‘rank’ the applications, choosing the top ranked as the recipients of the scholarships. Their selections are then forwarded to

 

Congratulations to all of the 2020 NTPDA Scholarship recipients!
