EnergySolutions Donates $60,000 to WSU Tri-Cities Freshman Class
RICHLAND, Wash. — EnergySolutions today announced the gifting of 10 scholarships to incoming freshmen at Washington State University (WSU) Tri-Cities as part of the company’s commitment to education. Each scholarship will provide a student with $3,000 during the 2007-08 freshman year and another $3,000 in the senior year.
“We are thrilled to have EnergySolutions involved through its scholarship program as we launch our campus expansion,” said Vicky Carwein, WSU Tri-Cities Chancellor. “EnergySolutions has proven to be a strong supporter of education at the high school level, particularly in the fields of math, science and engineering and we look forward this partnership.”
“EnergySolutions believes in higher education and is committed to doing its part for those pursuing a college degree,” said Carla Hages, director of community relations in Hanford. “We feel it is important to be involved in the community and the scholarship program is just one more way to give back. In addition, we will also provide internships to some of the WSU Tri-Cities students and make available EnergySolutions technical staff members in the regional campus’ new freshman mentoring program.”
