Meet the Adolph Stutz Memorial Scholarship Winners of 2023
The District Lodge 141 Scholarship Committee, in partnership with Bleiweiss Communications Inc., is proud to announce the 2023 Adolph Stutz Memorial Scholarship Competition winners.
The Adolph Stutz Memorial Scholarship is held each year to celebrate and reward academic excellence and community commitment among children, spouses, and dependent grandchildren of Local Lodge members.
"The essays were of high quality, which we take as evidence that these young scholars take their education seriously," shared Daniel Brin, the independent Scholarship Committee chairperson. "It is inspiring to see the dedication these students and our members demonstrate toward their academic pursuits."
Connor Dalgaard, a Coraopolis, Pennsylvania resident and a student at Vassar College, bagged this year's top award of $2,000. Maura Dalgaard, his mother and a Passenger Service Employee at United Airlines, is a member of Local Lodge 1044.
Six exceptional students were also recognized with awards of $1,000 each.
Kembrie Blackmon of Clearfield, Utah
Layly Kalfaian of Washington Township, New Jersey
Collin Krasnai of Exton, Pennsylvania
Therese Layacan of Auburn, Washington
Jacques Speyrer of Kissimmee, Florida
Linamercela Yanes of Houston, Texas
All the winners demonstrated a clear understanding of this year's essay subject: "Public approval of labor unions among the U.S. public is at its highest level since 1965, according to a new Gallup poll. Are U.S. labor unions making a comeback? Yes or no? Why?"
Their compelling essays, ranging between 700 to 1,000 words, stood out in a pool of submissions from high school seniors and full-time college or trade school enrollees.
Winners will receive their awards at a Local Lodge ceremony and their achievements will be acknowledged by the Machinists Union District 141.
"We encourage every student who didn't get the award this time to participate in next year's competition. Your perseverance and efforts deserve commendation," said Brin.
For winners, the next step involves emailing confirmation of enrollment at an accredited institution for the Fall 2023 term to dan@bleicomm.com.
