Thank you to our Scholarship Committee In appreciation of their time and dedication Glen Brin - Innovative Components, Inc. Wayne Wishnew - XL Screw Corp. Matt Delawder - SWD Inc.
Incorporated in 1946 as Chicago Bolt, Nut & Screw Association (Name changed in 2005)
We are very excited to celebrate this year’s scholarships as this year we reach $812,000 in cumulative scholarship dollars awarded since the beginning of this program. This consists of 586 scholarships (ranging from $500 to $6,000) awarded to 134 member companies. The MWFA Scholarship Program began in 1985 with the intent of being a test program. The Board of Directors thought they’d create a scholarship application, send it to all the member companies and see if any applications came back. Originally there were 8 applications returned. The association awarded a few scholarships and decided to try the program again the next year. The Scholarship Program quickly caught on and more and more applications were coming in, member companies became supportive of the program, and it has continued ever since. -4-
