2013 NETSA Scholarships Awarded

By Tom Ferguson, Scholarship Committee Chair

I am pleased to announce that we have been able once again to provide 12 worthy recipients scholarships of $2000 each ($24,000 total) due to the generosity of the membership and our sponsors.  Out of the 47 applications received, awards were granted to:

All of the scholarships awarded on an annual basis are funded by $1000 donations from NETSA member sponsors and then matched with another $1000 via funds raised by the Scholarship Committee through your participation in our golf outing and various auctions.  Your participation is greatly appreciated. 

Please join me in thanking our member sponsors, without whom we would be unable to assist these most deserving students, Maynard & Lesieur (Nashua, NH), Mohawk Rubber Sales (Hingham, MA), Sullivan Tire (W Bridgewater, MA) Melvin’s Tire Pros (Warwick, RI), Pete’s Tire Barn (Orange, MA), Wells Fargo Special Risks (Portsmouth, NH), Tom Lyons Tire (Waltham, MA) CT Tire Dealers Assn (Bloomfield, CT), Nokian Tyres (Essex Jct, VT) and Hennessy Industries (LaVergne, TN).

 Finally, we would love to be able to do more.  Due to the ever increasing costs of higher education, we are receiving applications from more and more exceptionally qualified individuals every year.  If your organization has any interest at all in joining the cause by establishing a scholarship, please do not hesitate to contact Executive Director, Dick Cole.
