Established in 1972, the Herman O. West Foundation honors Herman O. West, one of the founders of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. One of the scholarships awarded, the William S.

This year’s chairman’s scholarship was awarded to Matthew Sweeney from Exton, Pennsylvania, son of Matthew Sweeney. In addition to providing scholarships to the children of team members, the Herman O. West Foundation supports team members through matching gifts and emergency relief programs. Donations from U.S. full-time employees to organizations that hold 501(c)(3) designation are matched by the Foundation up to $1,500 per employee.
