Friday, December 6, 2013
Schneider Electric has established an endowed scholarship at Pennsylvania College of Technology as part of the Penn College Scholarship Campaign.
Selection preference for the Schneider Electric Scholarship will be given to full-time students who have been employed as interns of Schneider Electric and who are enrolled in one of the following academic majors with the following priority: building automation technology; heating, ventilation and air conditioning design technology; electronics and computer engineering technology; information technology: information assurance and security concentration; information technology: network specialist concentration; software development and information management; manufacturing engineering technology; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning technology, mechanical systems; electrical technology; robotics and automation; and automated manufacturing technology.
Schneider Electric regularly attends Career Fairs at Penn College, conducts information sessions and participates in recruiting activities for a number of academic majors.
Hunter S. Forney, an electronics and computer engineering technology major from Shippensburg, is the initial recipient of an award from the Schneider Electric scholarship.
“The Penn College community is extremely appreciative of Schneider Electric’s generosity in establishing this scholarship,” said Robb Dietrich, executive director of the Penn College Foundation. “It is gratifying when industry partners think highly enough of the education we provide to commit financial resources toward helping students attend here.”
“Schneider Electric is excited about our relationship with Pennsylvania College of Technology,” said Justin Lavoie, vice president of systems integration for Schneider Electric Buildings Business. “We recruit many students each semester for full-time positions, as well as internships. Penn College students hit the ground running and ramp up quickly because of the excellent hands-on education they receive.
“As a testament to our satisfaction, Schneider Electric is committed to maintaining our relationship with Penn College so that, when the students are exploring their employment options, we remain in the forefront of their minds. Schneider is happy to be able to help with this scholarship and look forward to being part of the Penn College family in the future.”
