Four students in the School of Industrial, Computing & Engineering Technologies have each been awarded $2,500 scholarships from the Gene Haas Foundation, furthering the generous benefactor’s longtime partnership with Pennsylvania College of Technology.

Scholarship recipients are automated manufacturing technology majors Austin R. Ayars, of Nazareth, and Austin R. Schaeffer, of Oley; and machine tool technology students Dakota J. Endress, of Josephine; and Samuel N. Schwyter, of Williamsport.

Penn College has a long-term relationship with Haas Automation Inc. and its distributor, Haas Factory Outlet (a division of Lance Co. in Bensalem), and a portion of College Avenue Labs is designated as a Haas Technical Education Center.
