Scholarship Assists Educational Efforts of West Ottawa Student
Holland MI – June 18, 2009 – Each school year Brenner Oil Company reaches out to a deserving West Ottawa High School graduating senior to provide scholarship assistance.
Barbara J. Kiekintveld, West Ottawa’s Guidance Counselor and Scholarship Coordinator stated, “This year’s recipient has been accepted to Grand Rapids Community College where he will be able to focus on automotive technology.” The student was able to develop his interest in this field while studying diesel mechanics at Careerline Tech Center.
The Brenner Scholarship Program was started in memory of Julie Brenner in 2005 as a means to provide financial assistance to a hopeful student attending school within the West Ottawa School District. The scholarship is typically awarded to an individual who demonstrates continuing educational interests in mechanics or in an industry aligned with Brenner Oil.
