The Chicago Rubber Group, Inc. would like to congratulate Jessica Mueller, who is this year's winner of the Harold Stark Memorial Scholarship, and Charels Litchford of the Acme Machell Company, who is this year's winner of the Robert Kann Award. Jessica will be a graduating senior at Elk Grove High School and would like to attend either Northwestern or the University of Illinois intending to major in biomedical engineering. Jessica will be on hand at the May 11th technical meeting to accept her scholarship in person. Congratulations to both Jessica and Charles.

The Harold Stark Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually in the amount of $1,000 for 4 years to a high school graduate based on composite ACT test scores.

The Robert Kann Award in the amount of $1,000 is awarded annually to someone associated with the Rubber Industry to defray the cost of taking a course to further his or her knowledge of rubber or associated industry.

In addition to community and industry outreach by the CRG Education Committee and CRG Board, we depend on other CRG members and recipients of the newsletter to inform qualifying individuals of the opportunities offered by our group. If you know of anyone who would qualify for either of these awards, please nominate them, or help them out by providing them access to the application process. Links for the Stark Scholarship Application and the Robert Kann Award Nomination Form can be found at the top of this webpage. Applications and nominations are typically taken from December through February of the transitioning calendar year.
