WIKA USA established the Ursula Wiegand Scholarship Fund in 2002 to recognize the accomplishments of WIKA employees\u2019 children. This award is given to high academic achievers and community leaders who are or will be enrolled in full-time undergraduate studies. In 2018, 26 exemplary students received the scholarship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of WIKA USA\u2019s key values is professional development, training, and on-going education for its entire workforce. So it\u2019s little surprise that this commitment to learning extends to employees\u2019 families \u2013 through annual merit-based scholarships<\/p>\n

The Ursula Wiegand Scholarship Fund, established in 2002 by former WIKA President Michael Gerster, supports employees\u2019 children in their undergraduate studies. Recipients are chosen based on their academic record and community involvement, and supporting documentation includes a personal statement and teacher recommendations.<\/p>\n

The Ursula Wiegand Scholarship: A History of Success<\/h2>\n

The scholarship is named after Ursula Wiegand, one of\u00a0<\/span>WIKA\u2019s founders<\/a> and the first woman to receive the\u00a0<\/span>Business Owner of the Year award<\/a> in Germany (1984). In honor of Wiegand\u2019s leadership and contribution to WIKA\u2019s success, each year WIKA USA hands out a one-time award \u2013 ranging from $500 to $1,000 per person \u2013 to a group of high-achieving students.<\/p>\n

Besides being children of WIKA USA employees, applicants must be enrolled \u2013 or plan to enroll \u2013 in a full-time undergraduate program at an accredited two-year, four-year, or technical postsecondary institution. The application process begins in the spring, and winners are announced in the summer. The award is intended to help students with the cost of tuition, books, lab fees, or other educational expenses.<\/p>\n

Since the program began 16 years ago, almost 300 students have received the Ursula Wiegand Scholarship. Employees\u2019 children can apply each year of their studies, and several have received the honor more than once during their academic careers.<\/p>\n

WIKA USA established the scholarship fund, but no company employees are involved in choosing the winners. Rather, all phases of the application and selection process are handled by the independent organization Scholarship Managers, a division of Career Opportunities Through Education, Inc.<\/p>\n\n

Recognizing the Leaders of Tomorrow<\/h2>\n

Almost 50 students applied this year, with 26 receiving the scholarship. The 2018 winners average a 3.49 GPA and represent 16 different universities and community colleges. Their 15 areas of study range from drafting and civil engineering to nursing and biology. In fact, this diversity of academic subjects is one of the purposes for giving out these awards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis scholarship is an investment in future leaders not only for our company, but for society as a whole,\u201d said Brent Shadix, Executive Vice President Human Resources at WIKA USA.\u00a0\u201cOur goal is to support the workforce of tomorrow in all industries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Another important reason for the Ursula Wiegand Scholarship is to recognize those WIKA employees who have raised such outstanding young people. During the August 15th award luncheon, Shadix noted that the road to educational success is long, arduous, and certainly not cheap. WIKA USA helps out with this scholarship, and this year\u2019s award came with a bonus: a $75 gift card to buy the things students need for college. However, parents are key to helping their children find their way and stay the course.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ursula Wiegand Scholarship is a great program that gives WIKA the ability to support our employees\u2019 investment in their children\u2019s futures \u2013 and to ensure a brighter future for us all,\u201d Shadix said.<\/p>\n
