Peter C. Hobart Establishes Two
Unique Scholarships
Troy, Ohio – August
24, 2005 – International entrepreneur and board
member of the Hobart Institute of Welding
Technology, Peter Cahill Hobart has established two
scholarships in the amount of one thousand dollars
each for selected students to further their
education in welding at the Hobart Institute of
Welding Technology.
A major collector of
welded metal sculpture, the truly American art form,
and a long-time advocate of combining the science
and technology of welding with art and creativity,
Mr. Hobart has designated one of these grants “The
David Smith Award”, for a promising artist and
welded metal sculptor.
In keeping with his
life and international interests and the institute‘s
worldwide reputation, Peter C. Hobart has provided a
second scholarship, “The Peter C. Hobart Weldworld
Award” for deserving international students from
outside the continental USA… a student who is
dedicated to the basic industry of welding in his
country.
Applications for
these scholarships that are due by April 1 of each
year, may be obtained through The Troy Foundation,
910 West Main Street, Troy, Ohio 45373 U.S.A.
An independent
selection committee of The Troy Foundation will
review applications and make the awards in May based
on the Institute’s professional recommendations.
Students may use the scholarships only toward
tuition for any program of welding training at the
Hobart Institute. Unused portions of any
scholarship will be returned to the fund within the
Troy Foundation for use by future scholarship
winners.
The Troy Foundation manages
funds of $48 million dollars that are granted to
educational, benevolent, religious, or charitable
uses. Established in 1924, The Foundation holds
over 145 established funds that provide services to
the Troy community.
