Brunswick awards scholarships to children of dealership employees
LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Brunswick Corporation’s (NYSE: BC) dealer services team, Brunswick Dealer Advantage, and the Brunswick Foundation, recently announced that 28 deserving students of dealer families from the U.S. and Canada have each been awarded a one-year, $2,000 college scholarship as part of the 2015 Brunswick Foundation Sons and Daughters Scholarship program.
Since 2007, the Brunswick Foundation Sons and Daughters Scholarship Program has recognized students for their academic excellence, leadership capabilities and community involvement during the past school year. An independent committee of academic professionals from leading Midwestern universities chose this year’s scholarship recipients.
“For the past nine years, the Brunswick Foundation Dealer Sons and Daughters Scholarship program has allowed us to directly help our dealers, their employees and their families,” said Kirsten Schuchardt, marketing and program manager for Brunswick Dealer Advantage. “Brunswick Corporation remains committed to providing the best dealer support services in the industry and we are pleased to award these scholarships again this year.”
Since its inception, the Brunswick Foundation Sons and Daughters Scholarship Program has provided more than $500,000 to support the baccalaureate education of more than 250 students.
“I am truly honored to be chosen to receive one of the Brunswick scholarships this year,” said scholarship winner Matthew Genung, whose father works for Winnipeg Sport & Leisure in Manitoba, Canada. “This scholarship takes a large financial load off my shoulders, which will allow me to stay focused on my studies and maintain my current academic standing and for which I am very appreciative.”
