Howell Family Establishes Welding
Scholarship
Troy,
Ohio – August 19, 2005 – In memory of William B. and
Marcia H. Howell, their children Johannes and
Deborah Howell Kurd and Robb and Joann Howell have
established an annual scholarship within The Troy
Foundation for students to further their education
in welding at the Hobart Institute of Welding
Technology.
“Both of our
parents’ lives were tightly intertwined in Hobart
Brothers Company. They believed in and supported
the welding industry and were both strong believers
in education and affording opportunity to those
wishing to participate in its advancement,” says
Deborah Kurd. “By offering the scholarship in their
memory, we feel we are furthering their commitment.”
U.S. citizens with
the proper credentials are urged to apply for the
$750 scholarship by April 1 of each year through The
Troy Foundation, 910 West Main Street, Troy, OH
45373. Applications for the scholarships will be
available from the offices of The Troy Foundation,
the Hobart Institute, or on the website
http://www.welding.org.
An independent
selection committee of The Troy Foundation will
review applications and make the awards in May.
Students may use the scholarships 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.
