UPPO Announces Annual Scholarship Recipients

Each year at the Annual Convention, the association announces the winner of the UPPO Scholarship. To foster an environment of continuing education, UPPO established its scholarship program to financially assist members and their children who wish to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.

This year’s first scholarship recipient this year is Katelynn Stemle, daughter of UPPO member Jennifer Stemle from Kimball International. Katelynn is currently a freshman at Purdue University, majoring in Pharmaceutical Science. She has received many awards and honors, but notably she was crowned 2022 Miss Indiana State Festivals and was nominated as an emerging underclassmen Boilermaker leader. She was also involved in an on-campus organization called Old Masters, which invites distinguished Purdue Alumni to return to campus and connect with the students. Katelynn is planning to pursue a career in a laboratory setting. 

This year’s second scholarship recipient is Amanda Greenhalgh, daughter of UPPO member Donna Greenhalgh from AT&T Services. Amanda is currently a senior at North Hunterdon High School in Annandale, New Jersey. She recently completed her final varsity cheer season with her team placing first in New Jersey and fifth in the nation at UCA Nationals. She also recently earned the Girl Scout Gold Award. She plans to attend either University of Binghamton or Roger Williams University, majoring in Environmental Science.

Congratulations to Katelyn and Amanda for their achievements, and best of luck in their future academic endeavors.
