What a great week celebrating the future of manufacturing, engineering, automation, robotics, and skilled trades in West Central Ohio.
On Wednesday, WestCOMP was honored to award our 2026 STEM Scholarships at Wright State University Lake Campus. These $1,000 scholarships help support students as they pursue education and training in high-demand STEM fields that are critical to the success of our region’s workforce.
Congratulations to this year’s scholarship recipients:
• Ethan Osterholt
• Trent Paul
• Drew Meyer
• Tristan Post
• Celeste Taylor
These students have demonstrated academic achievement, leadership, and a commitment to pursuing careers that will help drive innovation and growth throughout our communities.
One of the most rewarding parts of what we do at WestCOMP is investing in the next generation. Every scholarship awarded represents more than financial assistance. It represents an opportunity, a future career pathway, and another step toward building a stronger workforce pipeline for manufacturers across West Central Ohio.
The future of manufacturing depends on talented young people who are willing to learn, grow, and lead. We are proud to support these students as they begin the next chapter of their educational and professional journeys.
Thank you to our manufacturing partners, educators, families, and community leaders who continue to support workforce development and career awareness efforts throughout the region. Together, we are helping ensure that the future of manufacturing remains strong in West Central Ohio.
Please join us in congratulating our 2026 STEM Scholarship recipients and wishing them continued success.
