RICHLAND, Wash. (PRWEB) June 26, 2015 -- Washington-based environment and worker safety firm Dade Moeller is pleased to announce the winners of its 2015 Dade Moeller Scholarship Foundation merit-based educational scholarship program: Elizabeth (Betsy) Grace Gorman of Rockville, Md., and Heather Lee Bump and Robert James (Jamie) Alasdair Stewart, both of Kennewick, Wash. Dade Moeller provided each with a $1,500 award to support the costs of their first year of college.
The Dade Moeller Scholarship Foundation program is open to the high school-aged children of Dade Moeller employees who are entering their first year at an accredited two-year or four-year college or university. The winners are selected by an independent evaluator using a weighted rating system that evaluates six criteria: activities and jobs, honors and awards, leadership, class rank, grade point average, and SAT or ACT test scores.
Gorman graduated from Rockville High School in Rockville, Md., and will be attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She plans to continue her studies of Spanish and German, pursuing a double minor in these subjects. She looks forward to attending graduate school in the future to become a speech pathologist, working with children. She is the daughter of Patrick Gorman, who works with the Department of Energy’s Loan Program Office in Washington DC, performing environmental reviews for new innovative energy and automotive projects.
