So it\u2019s little surprise that this commitment to learning extends to employees\u2019 families \u2013 through annual merit-based scholarships.<\/p>\n<p>The Ursula Wiegand Scholarship Fund, established in 2002 by former WIKA President Michael Gerster, supports employees\u2019 children in their undergraduate studies.

The award is intended to help students with the cost of tuition, books, lab fees, or other educational expenses.<\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width:396px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/files\/2019\/08\/jenna-larsen-jonie-larsen-brent-shadix-388x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ursula Wiegand Scholarship\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">From left: Jenna Larsen, scholarship winner; Brent Shadix; and Jonie Larsen, WIKA employee and Jenna&#8217;s mother<\/p><\/div>\n    \n<p>Since the program began 17 years ago, more than 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 career.<\/p>\n<p>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 an independent organization.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignright\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h2>Recognizing Tomorrow&#8217; Leaders<\/h2>\n<p>Twenty-six students \u2013 representing\u00a018 different technical schools, community colleges,\u00a0colleges, and universities \u2013 received the scholarship this year. Their areas of study range from business and online marketing to cybersecurity and materials science engineering. Twelve of the winners, along with their family and several members of WIKA&#8217;s management team, attended the July 24 awards luncheon.<\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width:396px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/files\/2019\/08\/kiera-stripling-monique-stripling-keith-stripling-brent-shadix_resized-388x217.jpg\" alt=\"Ursula Wiegand Scholarship\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">From left: Brent Shadix, Monique Stripling, Kiera Stripling (scholarship winner), and Keith Stripling (WIKA employee and Kiera&#8217;s father)<\/p><\/div>\n    \n<p>The scholarship winners will be an asset to future employers, perhaps even WIKA! \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<p>Another important reason for the Ursula Wiegand Scholarship is to recognize those WIKA employees \u2013 at both the Lawrenceville (Georgia) and Pasadena (Texas) locations \u2013 who have raised such outstanding young people. During the ceremony, Shadix noted that the road to educational success is long, arduous, and certainly not cheap, and that WIKA USA is happy and honored to be part of that journey.<\/p>\n<p>\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
