A. WAYNE PLACE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

In 1991 the Rubber Division, ACS established the A. Wayne Place Memorial Scholarship in memory of the former chairman of Jasper Rubber. This scholarship, funded by Jasper Rubber, provides an annual stipend to employees of the rubber industry to further their education in polymer technology. Production personnel are eligible for the scholarship.

Each Rubber Group can submit the name of one person to be considered for this scholarship. Recipients are not required to be members of the Rubber Division nor are they required to be members of your local rubber group. The Education Committee selects recipients based of the following criteria:

• Length of employment in the rubber industry and with current employer
• Applicability of the workshops to job function
• Academic achievement
• Strength of recommendation letters received from supporting rubber group

Because this award is targeted for employees who do not normally have the opportunity to attend Rubber Division meetings, the Education Committee gives special consideration to non-college graduates; however, both degreed and non-degreed individuals are eligible for the scholarship.

The number of scholarships awarded is contingent upon meeting location and travel costs at the time of the meeting. However, it is our intention to award a minimum of two scholarships. Please send all nominations to the Rubber Division, ACS office at: 250 South Forge Road, Akron, OH 44325 Attention: Victoria George
