For the past several years, the business department has been able to provide scholarships for selected students who have shown outstanding achievement in the Cooperative Education programs. Darren Parker, TVHS business teacher, and Aaron Engbrecht, WBL coordinator and TVHS business teacher, determine the recipient’s qualifications based on a variety of factors such as GPA, class rank and financial need. However, they focus more closely the number of business classes taken during high school and the intent to pursue a business-related major in college.
The two scholarship recipients for 2018 are Tyler Craft and Makayla Sandbakken.
Craft earned six credits in the WBL program at the TVHS Technology Department and plans to attend Trine University to study software engineering.
Sandbakken earned four credits at Deardorff Veterinary Clinic and plans to attend Ivy Tech, then a four-year school to study veterinary medicine.
