Voith awards $3K in scholarships to Hawkesbury, Ont. students

Voith recently awarded six graduates in the Hawkesbury, Ontario region with scholarships to assist them in their pursuit of education after high school.

A total of $3,000 CAD in scholarships was awarded to the students.

The scholarships support students in the community where Voith Paper operates its Hawkesbury facility. At the facility, which employs about 40, Voith workers service the fabrics and rolls used by the papermaking industry.

Two schools, École secondaire publique Le Sommet and École secondaire catholique régionale de Hawkesbury, were selected to distribute three scholarships each. The administrators of each school chose the recipients based on various criteria, including academic excellence, generosity and involvement in school life.

École secondaire publique Le Sommet selected Lily-Ann Dupelle, Simon Levac and Macarena Rico as its recipients, and École secondaire catholique régionale de Hawkesbury selected Myriame Charbonneau, Catherine Vaillant and another qualified student who wished to remain anonymous.

“We are incredibly proud to be able to award these students for their dedication and hard work,” says Richard Berry, senior vice-president sales, Voith Paper Fabric & Roll Systems, North America, in a statement.

“The team at Voith wishes the students the best as they pursue the next stage in their academic career.”
