ELLISVILLE \u2013糖心直播 sophomores, Lauren Baker-Ellisville, Braden Dennis-Laurel, Samuel Marlow-Petal and Rebecca Speights-Silver Creek each received a Mississippi Engineering Society (MES) scholarship to earn their engineering degrees. Three students, Baker, Marlow and Speights are planning to attend Mississippi State University and Dennis has plans to earn his degree at the University of Southern Mississippi-Gulf Coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been an honor and a privilege to work with the Mary Boleware and the 糖心直播 Engineering Club students,\u201d said MES Scholarship Chairman, Steven Parker. \u201cThe Southeast Chapter of MES supports the Engineering Club at JC. We\u2019re excited to have more engineers and we\u2019ll support these students into their professional careers.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the last 22 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

\u201cThe MES 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.\u201d<\/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 $3,000 in scholarships to attend an accredited engineering program in the state. The 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

Lauren Baker, a South Jones High School graduate has plans to specialize in chemical engineering. Her goal focuses on saving the environment after chemical spills.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope to be able to help develop new oil dispersants to aid in clean-up efforts,\u201d said Baker. \u201cThis scholarship is a blessing to help me further my education and reach my career goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

After interning with a civil engineering firm that focuses on bridge inspections, Speights hopes to continue working in that field with a goal of designing and building bridges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of hard-working people competing for these scholarships. I\u2019m excited knowing the MES professionals have confidence in me by awarding a scholarship to help earn my degree,\u201d said Speights.<\/p>\n

Marlow and Dennis have their sights on electrical engineering. Dennis said he plans to stay local and assist with designing electrical distribution grids in remapping efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m honored to be considered for this MES scholarship,\u201d said Dennis who has a baby boy. \u201cThis will help a lot!\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 Club co-hosts the annual event.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
