William Park Woodside
Founder’s Scholarship
The William Park Woodside Founder’s Scholarship was
established in 1996, by a gift fromMrs. Sue Woodside Shulec
in honor of her grandfather. WilliamPark 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 ASM student member study-
ing materials science and engineering 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.
Katerina Kimes
University of Pittsburgh
Since declaring hermajor, Kimes’ pas-
sion for materials science and engineering
has led her to pursue hands-on opportu-
nities, with summers spent as an intern
cladding metals at All-Clad Metalcrafters
and as a researcher focusing on functional
materials at the University of Pittsburgh. She has gained an
understanding of how important materials are to everyday
life and wants to share this knowledge with others, which is
what encouraged her to become secretary for her school’s
Material Advantage chapter.
The Lucille and Charles A. Wert
Scholarship
The Lucille and Charles A. Wert Scholarship was estab-
lished in 2006 through a generous bequest by the couple.
It serves as an expression of their commitment to educa-
tion and the materials science and engineering community.
Tuition of up to $10,000 for the academic year is awarded
through this scholarship.
Mystee Pulcine
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Life has taken Pulcine many places,
but none quite so thrilling as the past four
years. She has been given once-in-a-life-
time opportunities such as interning at
NASA Langley researching boron nitrite
nanotubes and working in Professor
Perepezko’s high temperature materials lab exploring grain
growth and nucleation. She also served as vice president
of the American Foundry Society student chapter at UW.
Through these experiences, her dedication to the field of
materials science has only solidified.
George A. Roberts Scholarships
The George A. Roberts Scholarships were established
in 1995 through a generous contribution from Dr. George A.
Roberts, FASM, past president and retired CEO of Teledyne,
to the ASM Foundation as an expression of his commitment
to education and the materials science and engineering
community. Scholarships 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. Five scholars will
receive a certificate and check for $6000 toward educational
expenses for one academic year.
Victoria Christensen
Pennsylvania State University
Christensen strives to research
high-performance polymers for clean
water applications based on her experi-
ences as a research fellow for PPG indus-
tries and a research intern at GE Oil & Gas.
“I wouldn’t be as dedicated to my future as
a materials scientist if it weren’t for my amazing teachers
who encouraged me every step of the way,” she says.
