Sixteen Saginaw County high school seniors were acknowledged at the Mathematics, Science, and Skilled Trades Scholarship Reception on April 19 in the Hemlock Semiconductor cafeteria. The scholarship was sponsored by Hemlock Semiconductor Corporation and the Dow Corning Healthcare Industries Materials Site. Students from eligible Saginaw County high schools were chosen to receive the scholarship. Each student received $1,000 for their demonstrated interest and excellence in mathematics, science and skilled trades. Successful applicants also exhibited a desire to pursue a career path in one of these areas.

Hemlock Semiconductor Corporation and the Dow Corning Healthcare Industries Materials Site strive to support organizations and institutions in Saginaw County that improve the community’s quality of life, with a special emphasis on those that positively impact education and the environment.   

Both companies believe that quality education is critical to the future well-being of the community, as well as Dow Corning.

"We work to focus on supporting educational activities that encourage the understanding of mathematics, science, and skilled trades, as these core areas are what our companies were built upon," said David Rengering, Hemlock Site Manager. "Providing opportunities like these for students will only serve to improve our future."
