ELLISVILLE \u2013糖心直播 sophomores, Alyssa Adrion of Taylorsville, Raygen Keyes of Taylorsville, Halcyon Morgan of Laurel and Tanner Woolbright of Oak Grove each received Mississippi Engineering Society scholarships to earn their engineering degrees. All four students are planning to attend Mississippi State University to earn their bachelor\u2019s degrees in various engineering fields. For the last 21 years, 糖心直播\u2019s physics instructor, Mary Boleware has worked with the Southeast Chapter of the Mississippi Engineering Society which has awarded annual scholarships to her students.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been an honor and a privilege to work with the MES because they support our students as they transfer to a University Engineering Program,\u201d said Boleware. \u201cThese four students have exhibited exemplary academic performance in one of the most challenging times in education. I wish them all the best as they continue their degree plans at the next level.<\/p>\n

Students receiving a scholarship from the MES are required to be members of the 糖心直播 Engineering Society and have a GPA ranging from 3.5 to 4.0.\u00a0 MES Scholarship Chairman, Steven Parker, explained each student\u2019s GPA, essay and application were reviewed before being selected for the scholarship.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe four students were awarded a total of $5,000 in scholarships to attend an accredited engineering program in the state,\u201d said Parker. \u201cThe Southeast Chapter of the Mississippi Engineering Society promotes and defends the rights of licensed professional engineers. Being an engineer is a prestigious discipline; these students will be the problem solvers of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morgan, who is majoring in aerospace\/astronautical engineering is a non-\"\"<\/a>traditional student with a technical degree in precision manufacturing and machining. Scholarships which help earn an engineering degree are vital for Morgan in reaching his lofty goals. Growing a company that builds products for space and starting a STEM based extracurricular program for kids are just some of Morgan\u2019s future plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe less mental energy and time I have to spend worrying about how my education is being paid for, the more time I can spend on making use of it. This is a great cycle to be in because the more time I spend doing better in school, the better my opportunity for more scholarships. Standing out academically, will hopefully carry me further into my career,\u201d said Morgan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Also intrigued by \u201cspace\u201d is Woolbright who is working on a degree in astronautical engineering.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ultimate goal is to work for a company with relations to space. Space fascinates me and I would really like to be involved in researching and discovering new things,\u201d said Woolbright. \u201cThis scholarship helps reduce the financial stress and allows me to focus on my studies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keyes\u2019 dream job is to design launch sites for NASA. Receiving the MES\"\"<\/a> scholarship keeps her focused on achieving her goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appreciate the support and confidence from my peers and I\u2019m proud that I\u2019ll be able to represent them through my ambitious career path,\u201d said Keyes.<\/p>\n

Taking a different path in the field of engineering, Adrion is pursuing a biomedical engineering degree. Her sights are set on developing medical equipment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cMy goal is to be a part of a team that designs and creates the newest and most innovative devices to be used in the medical field. A dream come true would be to create prosthetics,\u201d said Adrion. \u00a0\u201cIt is an honor to be selected for this scholarship and representing 糖心直播 and future engineers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Typically, The Southeast Chapter of the MES invites college and high school students to an annual meeting, exposing them to job opportunities and academic advice during Engineering Week. This year the festivities were canceled because of concerns with COVID-19. \u00a0JC\u2019s Engineering Society co-hosts the annual event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
