Fiskars Brands Scholarship Program
07/22/2005
The Fiskars Brands Scholarship Program assists employees’ children who plan to pursue post-secondary education. Scholarships are awarded to current high school seniors (or equivalent grades outside of the United States) for full time study at an accredited four-year college or university of the student’s choice. Each recipient receives a $5,000 scholarship.
Scholarship America, an independent nonprofit organization that specializes in awarding scholarship awards, administers the program. Winners are selected on the basis of a number of factors, including past academic record, leadership and participation in school and community activities, honors, and potential to succeed. No one from Fiskars is involved with the selection process.
It is our pleasure to announce the following applicants were awarded scholarships for 2005:
Kyla Dean is the daughter of Jeff Dean from our School, Office & Craft division in Wausau. Kyla is planning to continue her education at the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point. Kyla plans to study Physics.
Kristine Vanderkooy, daughter of Maxine Vanderkooy who is also working at our School, Office & Craft division in Wausau, also has plans to attend University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point. Kristine is planning on focusing her studies in Spanish.
The third recipient of our 2005 Fiskars Brands Scholarship is Brandon Reed, son of Brian Reed of our GOL division of the Calhoun location. Brandon plans to attend Maryville College of Maryville, Tennessee and major in Biology.
We are very proud of all our graduates and congratulate our scholarship recipients.
