Great Things Come From Outstanding Support!

What a few of our past scholarship winners are up to…

Andrew Hansen, CFPHS, attends Iowa State University and is currently in his last semester of classes. He does not have a full-time job lined up yet, however he is interning at Danfoss Power Solutions in Ames, Iowa. He says, “The FPEF scholarship has been a huge help in paying for my final semester in school and has made me even more interested in pursuing a career in Fluid Power.”

Caleb Blankemeyer attended Northwest State Community College and is employed as a CNC machinist at Drainage Products, Inc. in Havilland, Ohio. He is also involved in the hydraulics and pneumatics work when fabricating a machine for production. He says, “Applying for the scholarship can open doors for employment. It can also grow your own interest in hydraulics and pneumatics.”

Nathan Brace attended Iowa State University and is employed with John Deere in Dubuque, Iowa. He says, “The Fluid Power Education Foundation Scholarship I received was a huge blessing that really helped with college expenses.  It helped me on my journey through college and increased my interest in the fluid power industry in which I work today.”

Andrew Bachman attended Purdue University College of Technology and was recently hired as an Engineering Technician at Telamon Industrial Solutions, Carmel, Indiana. He says, “As an adult student starting my second career, this scholarship greatly blessed my family and me. It gave me the ability to spend more time with my family instead of working the many extra hours required to pay for school. I cannot thank the donors enough for this gift and hope that, in the future, I will be able to pay it forward to the next class of students. Thank you.”
