AWS Reading Section Millennium Scholarship<\/strong><\/p>

Welcome to the AWS Reading Section Millennium Scholarship. It is our named scholarship recognizing our turn of the century endeavor.\u00a0<\/p>

This scholarship honors the gentleman who convinced members to turn over the sections hard earned money to the newly formed Foundation Fund. Upon reaching our investment goal we awarded our first $500 scholarship. This was replaced in 2017 with our first big award of $1,250.00.\u00a0<\/p>

AWS Reading Section 100 was the third section in the US to participate in the Foundation Investment Fund Program. We look forward to seeing your application.<\/p>

Shirley was employed full time from 1977 to 2000 with ESAB Welding & Cutting Products in Hanover, PA. Shirley started as a customer representative for ESAB and ultimately reached the goal of Marketing & Product Control Manager. She was a very active member of the York-Central Section in York, PA where she served in many different capacities, eventually as Chairman from 1988-1989.\u00a0 Shirley served on the AWS Board as a District 3 Director from 1990 to 1997. Eventually Shirley reached her goal as the first woman President of the American Welding Society from 1998 to 1999. Shirley was an advocate for Education in all senses of the word, which included getting to know students in District 3 and to meet students all over the world during her travels as AWS President.
