STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT NEEDED

 

Student recognition has become a major priority of the Southern Connecticut Chapter. At present, we provide three kinds of financial recognition: the Antoni Tabak $250 Achievement Award at Naugatuck Valley Community Technical College, the Art Geary $1000 Scholarship at the University of Connecticut, and the Poster Contest Awards for the Department of Materials and Metallurgy at UCONN.

We need your help to continue this effort! Such student recognition helps to keep our profession alive. Gifts of any amount are appreciated. Please contact James Michel (203-378-6589 or email: jameshmichel@optonline.net), Chapter Secretary, if you wish to make a donation.

Thank You!
