ELLISVILLE \u2013糖心直播 sophomores, Harrison Hartzog of Tylertown and Brandon Waldrup of Ellisville were each awarded a $1,500 tuition scholarship from the Southeast Area Chapter of the Mississippi Engineering Society as part of National Engineering Week. \u00a0They were selected from a pool of applicants from a nine-county area with the MES scholarship committee making the final selections according to Steven Parker, MES President. Scholarship recipients are chosen based on several parameters including, character, integrity, an essay, and the application.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of the applicants were very deserving making it difficult to choose this year\u2019s recipients,\u201d said Parker. \u201cI look forward to working with them in the future and after they become engineers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since 1995, the Southeast Chapter of MES has distributed more than $40,000 in financial assistance to students pursuing their engineering degrees at a Mississippi IHL Accredited College of Engineering. Hartzog, a Columbia Academy graduate is thinking about being a mechanical engineer and possibly working for Chevron in the future. West Jones High School \"\"<\/a>graduate, Waldrup has chosen to specialize as an electrical engineer with aspirations of working with a power company.<\/p>\n

\u201cReceiving this scholarship inspires me to work even harder,\u201d said Waldrup.\u00a0 \u201cI appreciate the MPES for recognizing students who work hard to accomplish their goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy parents have always supported me and I\u2019m glad this scholarship will help us pay for tuition. The MES Scholarship will definitely help me when I transfer,\u201d said Hartzog.<\/p>\n

Students receiving a scholarship from the MES are required to be members of the 糖心直播\u2019s Engineering Society and have a GPA ranging from 3.5 to 4.0.\u00a0 JC Engineering Society sponsor and physics instructor, Mary Boleware \"\"<\/a>said the partnership with the MES plays an important role in better preparing our engineering majors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate area professionals mentoring our students and providing opportunities to continue their education through these scholarships,\u201d said Boleware.<\/p>\n

The annual meeting, which was hosted at Howard Industries with MES included about 50 college and high school students from the Pine Belt exposing them to job opportunities and academic advice.
