Lucy Will George William and Mary Jane Zitelman Endowed Mechanical Engineering Scholarship Born an engineer, circumstances prevented Bill from realizing his dream of attending college until he was 30 years-old, and by that time he was married with two young boys. Being a full-time student required sacrifices for the entire family, including a move across the state, renting a small home, Jane working the night shift as an LPN, a new school for children, and far too many casseroles. Bill graduated with distinction, and over the next many years, enjoyed the challenges of working at the Ford Motor Company and the Bureau of Engraving, not to mention starting his own engineering business. He was able to fully support Jane’s dream to become a Registered Nurse, and they were both able to happily retire in their mid-fifties. It was their desire to make the journey towards a Mechanical Engineering degree less arduous for other non-traditional students, so preference will be given first to full-time married students with children, second to married students without children, and third to non-traditional students pursuing a change in career. Available to undergraduate students, and renewable if student maintains a GPA of 3.0 or higher. The annual award is $2,700. Jeffrey Sabelko
