The Gilchrist Foundation has awarded two scholarships from the 2007 applicants. Congratulations to the recipients. We wish them well and are pleased to assist them with their education. They are as follows;

Katherine Farrell who is mother works for Wurth/Revcar in Norfolk VA and Matthew VonHoldt who is employed by Trinity Logistics in Wichita, KS.

Robbie and Gina Gilchrist established the Gilchrist Foundation Fastener Scholarship in 2000. Their goal was to return something to an industry that was very good and supportive to them. The criteria for applying are that upon completion of their schooling the applicant must make an effort to work in the Fastener Industry. Unlike other scholarships, the Gilchrist Scholarship may be applied for during any year of a persons schooling. Also, an applicant may be a part time student currently working in the fastener industry.

The Gilchrist Foundation Scholarship is available to any student of an NFDA member company. The applications are available from that office in January of each year.
