“This scholarship will greatly help me to lower the costs of college and allow me to be able to spend more time on my studies. I will be able to follow my dream of becoming a welding engineer and working with aircraft, but also improving the welding industry and inspire the next generation of welding professionals. I'm pursuing my welding engineering

Bachelor's Degree to learn as much as I can about welding and to be able to help make things in our daily lives safe. The welding industry has so many different career avenues whether its education, engineering, sales, robotics or inspection just to name a few and I want to have the opportunity to work in all of them. I'm very excited for a chance to have an internship with a partner company and am willing to relocate for the internship. Some of my interests are metallurgy, welding inspection, failure analysis, Steel mills - the whole metal making process. I have a broad interest in aircraft, mining, oil and gas, and agriculture.” - Abby Frisk, Ferris State University, Al Underys Engineering, Metallurgical &Material Sciences Memorial Scholarship Winner

“I am from Illinois and am studying metallurgical engineering at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. Several things led to me choosing this major, but I have always been fascinated by materials and "how stuff is made". Once I learned about the chemistry and balance of hands-on/office work involved in metallurgy, I decided to give it a try

even though I had big doubts in my engineering abilities. I'm so glad I learned that engineering is something you become good at, and for people like me, something you come to love. Thank you so much for helping me toward that end by donating to my cost of tuition with the FIERFWomen’s Scholarship!!” - Brianna Hoff, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Forging Industry Women’s Scholarship Winner
