Former WIKA president Michael Gerster knew this 21 years ago when he created the Ursula Wiegand Scholarship. Named in honor of the company\u2019s former president, who was also the first woman to receive Germany\u2019s Business Owner of the Year Award (in 1984), this prize has helped nearly 300 children of WIKA employees pursue their academic goals.<\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width:846px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/files\/2023\/08\/wika-scholarship-presentation-838x471.jpg\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">During the WIKA scholarship banquet, Drew Firestone spoke about the achievements of former WIKA president Ursula Wiegand.<\/p><\/div>\n    \n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\nBut good grades alone aren\u2018t enough to win this WIKA scholarship. The committee also looks at the applicants\u2019 community involvement and letters of recommendation. This is a one-time award, but past winners are encouraged to apply again as long as they will be full-time students in an accredited undergraduate program.<\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width:208px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/files\/2023\/08\/jesselarsen.jpg\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jesse Larsen, WIKA scholarship recipient from 2020 to 2023<\/p><\/div>\n    \n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This year, the scholarship committee gave awards to 16 children of WIKA employees in three U.S. locations. The amounts ranged from $500 to $1,000 per person and go toward tuition or other college expenses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The winners and their families were honored during a luncheon banquet on June 29, 2023. Drew Firestone, VP of Strategy and Marketing, spoke during the celebration at WIKA USA&#8217;s headquarters in Lawrenceville. In addition to a check, each winner also received a gift card, a college sweatshirt, and a yard sign that publicly proclaimed their achievement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Among the 16 winners were five who have previously received the Ursula Wiegand Scholarship. Jesse Larsen, a history major at the University of North Georgia, is one of those multi-year winners. \u201cThis scholarship is very helpful and helped make the last few years of school a better experience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h2>Winners of the 2023 Ursula Wiegand Scholarship<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span><\/span>Congratulations to these hardworking students <em>and<\/em> their equally hardworking parents or sponsors.
