In May, the Pella Rolscreen Foundation awarded 42 college scholarships to students, representing company sites in California, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky and Michigan.

This annual Pella Rolscreen Foundation’s Sons and Daughters Scholarship Program recognizes outstanding high school graduates whose parents are Pella team members, and since its inception in 1979, has awarded 717 scholarships. Selection criteria includes academics, school and work activities, community volunteerism and essay responses. Recipients attending four-year programs receive $8,000 and those attending two-year programs receive $1,500.

A panel of external judges with college admissions backgrounds selected the recipients from a group of applicants representing nearly 50 high schools across 14 states.

A copy of Dr. Seuss’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go! is one of several congratulatory gifts given to the scholarship recipients by the Rolscreen Foundation
