A new scholarship opportunity: Scott Aldrich Scholarship at the Kalamazoo Community Foundation. The focus is on helping the committed science student. While there are many scholarships available early in one's education as time goes on, opportunities dwindle. Please help share the opportunity.

Here is information about Scott:

D. Scott Aldrich started his career after receiving a Bachelor of Science degree from Western Michigan University. Although he was focused on biology and chemistry, the opportunity to take a class at McCrone Associates opened a lifetime passion in microscopy. He pursued a career with Upjohn, Pharmacia, Pfizer, and his own company, Ultramikro LLC. Scott transformed his passion for microscopy and trace analysis techniques into a career of solving scientific problems, a relentless pursuit of excellence, and a passion for advancing pharmaceutical quality standards, specifically as it relates to particulates in pharmaceutical dosage forms.

I worked with Scott at Upjohn, Pharmacia, and Pfizer.
Please spread the word!
