Scholarship
Established in Memory of David Via
Troy, Ohio – August
19, 2005 – In memory of David Via, long-time welding
instructor, his family has established an annual
scholarship within The Troy Foundation for students
to further their education in welding at the Hobart
Institute of Welding Technology.
“We chose this way
to continue David’s legacy by having an impact on
future students,” says Mrs. Donna Via. “Through
this scholarship, we are particularly interested in
providing an opportunity to students that may have
learning disabilities, but may have excellent manual
dexterity.”
Graduates of high
schools in Miami, Darke, Shelby, Preble, or Clark
Counties in Ohio are urged to apply for the $1000
scholarship by April 1 of each year through The Troy
Foundation, 910 West Main Street, Troy.
Applications for the scholarships will be made
available in the offices of the various
participating schools and will be available on the
Hobart Institute web site at
http://www.welding.org.
An independent
selection committee of The Troy Foundation will
review applications and make the awards in May of
each year. Students may use the scholarships toward
tuition for any program of welding training at the
Hobart Institute. Unused portions of any
scholarship will be returned to the fund within the
Troy Foundation for use by future scholarship
winners.
The Troy Foundation manages funds of $48 million
dollars that are granted to educational, benevolent,
religious, or charitable uses. Established in
1924, The Foundation holds over 145 established
funds that provide services to the Troy community.
