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. Hannah Walker University of Wisconsin-Madison Walker is entering her final year at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, studying materials science and engi- neering. She is emphasizing her studies in polymers and earning a certificate (minor) in international engineering. To Walker, materials engineering is an area that allows her to combine her math-and-science/ heavy thinking style with her creative mindset. She has interned in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and medical devices. Most recently, she found her passion working in performance textile applications at W. L. Gore and Associates. 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. Jacob Maxwell Wall University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa Wall is a rising junior at the Uni- versity of Alabama, where he majors in metallurgical and materials engineer- ing. Maintaining a 4.0 GPA, Wall has worked since his freshman year under Dr. Feng Yan to enhance the efficiencies of carbon-based perovskite solar cells. He published a paper about his research, and won at the Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity conference. Although Wall accepted an internship with the US-ITER program, he was unable to participate due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 commit- ment to education and the materials science and engineer- ing 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. Robert Giebel The University of Akron Giebel is entering his fourth year in the corrosion engineering program at The University of Akron. In his junior year of high school, he completed a job shadow under a metallurgist at Ellwood Quality Steels and discovered that he loved what the field had to
