West is pleased to congratulate the recipients of the 2017 H.O. West Foundation academic scholarships! This year the H.O. West scholarship program awarded nine scholarships to deserving high school seniors.
The West scholarship program was established in 1972 to honor Herman O. West, the founder of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. Each year, the program allows the children of West’s full-time U.S. employees the opportunity to compete for a scholarship to a four-year or two-year college or technical school.
The winners were chosen by an independent selection committee that reviewed the students' ACT/SAT scores, grade point average, class rank, honors and advanced placement courses, and essay. The committee also evaluated the students' character, maturity and leadership skills to assess each student holistically.
West applauds the nine students that received the 2017 H.O. West Foundation scholarships and wishes them luck in their educational future:
Emily Johnson: Jersey Shore, PA — Pennsylvania State University
Alexandria Krusniak: Tempe, AZ — Arizona State University
Katelyn Long: Kearney, NE — University of Oklahoma
Rachel Ritner: Williamsport, PA — Bloomsburg University
Hiroto Saito: Exton, PA — Stanford University
Nathan Walma: Walker, MI — Hope College
Robert Warner: Exton, PA — Colorado School of Mines
Lyndsie Zimmerman: Clearwater, FL — Florida State University
Jonathan Principe: Cayey, Puerto Rico

Students from the <a href="https://www.dasd.org/STEM">Downingtown STEM Academy</a>, ranked the most challenging high school in Pennsylvania by the Washington Post, shadowed West’s Ambassador Interns during the week of June 26. Interns Andrew Ciciriello, Beth Crawford, Marissa D’Amelio, Neal Geosits, Hannah Grubb and Luke Lawn were each paired with a student and asked to mentor them on career options and the transition from high school to college.
Since its inception in 2011, the <a href="http://www.dasd.org/STEM"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Downingtown Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Academy</span></a> has quickly earned the ranking as the number one high school in the state of Pennsylvania. With the STEM Academy located in the same district as West’s corporate headquarters, and a strong corporate culture of giving back to the community, a partnership between the two organizations was a natural fit.
