Three High School Students Granted IPC Scholarships
July 9, 2004 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Northbrook, Ill. — IPC — Association Connecting Electronics Industries recently presented Mateusz Czerw, Eric Li and Edwin Moy with $500 scholarships from the IPC Electronics Assembly Scholarship Fund, an endowment the association established to support the electronics program of Curie Metropolitan High School, Chicago, Ill.
IPC also donated $1,000 to the school for additional educational materials and equipment for Curie's electronics program.
In addition to maintaining a 3.0 GPA in electronics, sustaining a 90 percent attendance record and establishing a history of achievement in electronics at the school, the students were selected by Curie's electronics instructor, technical department counselor and Education-to-Careers coordinator for submitting exemplary written essays that described their post-secondary educational plans and future career goals.
Each year, IPC donates $2,500 a year to the career academy that includes a magnet school for the arts, a vocational/technical program and an international baccalaureate program.
IPC selected Curie Metropolitan High School as the sole beneficiary because of the school's three-year industrial electronics course that gives students work-oriented, hands-on experience using the latest advancements in business and technology. Curie is one of the only high schools in the U.S. to use IPC-A-610C, Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies, as a standard in its industrial electronics curriculum.
