William Park Woodside Founder’s Scholarship
The William Park Woodside Founder’s Scholarship
was established in 1996, by a gift from Mrs. Sue Wood-
side Shulec in honor of her grandfather. William Park
Woodside founded our society as the Steel Treaters Club
more than 100 years ago and later served as president of
ASM. The scholarship was established to support an
ASMstudent member studyingmaterials science and en-
gineering at the junior or senior level who demonstrates
strength in leadership, character, and academics. Tuition
of up to $10,000 for one academic year and a certificate
of recognition are awarded to the recipient.
Patrick Veloskey
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Veloskey’s inquisitive mind led him to the
field of materials engineering. In class and at
his co-op assignments, he asks questions.
For example: What alloy is the metal? How
will that affect machining? In the future,
Veloskey wants to work with a materials engineering
team to find the answers.
The Lucille and Charles A. Wert Scholarship
The Lucille and Charles A. Wert Scholarship was es-
tablished in 2006 through a generous bequest by the
couple. It serves as an expression of their commitment
to education and the materials science and engineer-
ing community. Tuition of up to $10,000 for the aca-
demic year is awarded through this scholarship.
Anna Bretzke
Missouri University of Science & Technology
Bretzke originally declared ceramic engi-
neering as her major, but changed her mind
after one week of working in a steel foundry.
“As I stood on the melt deck and got to help
charge, slag and tap a 700-pound induction
furnace, I felt right at home, ” says Bretzke.
George A. Roberts Scholarships
The George A. Roberts Scholarships were estab-
lished in 1995 through a generous contribution from
Dr. George A. Roberts, FASM, past president and re-
tired CEO of Teledyne, to the ASM Foundation as an
expression of his commitment to education and the
materials science and engineering community. Schol-
arships are awarded to outstanding undergraduate
members of ASM at the junior or senior level who
demonstrate exemplary academic and personal
achievements, and interest and potential in metallurgy
or materials science and engineering. Seven scholars
were selected this year and will be presented with a cer-
tificate and check for $6000 toward educational ex-
penses for one academic year.
Katrina Boos
The Ohio State University
“My foray into the engineering world was at-
tending the 2010 ASM Eisenman Camp, an ex-
perience that convinced me to pursue materials
engineering as a career,” Boos recalls. “I’m
blessed to have had the opportunity to pursue
an engineering degree at a prestigious school
with world-class researchers,” says Boos.
Taylor Brown
University of Alabama at Birmingham
“My goal is to be hired by a steel company
after graduation, so I can expand my potential
and interest in metallurgy,” says Brown. “After
working in the field, I plan to return to school
for a master’s degree in materials science and en-
gineering or business administration.”
