Two recently graduated Monroe High School seniors have each been chosen to receive a $1,000 Sarkis H. Pashaian Memorial Scholarship.  They are Nathan Kueterman and Hunter Towalski, both of whom will be entering engineering programs in college in the fall.

     Nathan plans to attend Western Michigan University to study aerospace engineering.  Hunter plans to attend Saginaw Valley State University to study mechanical engineering.

     Nathan graduated summa cum laude and was a senior scholar besides being a member of the National Honor Society.  He also played four varsity sports in high school.  He also has done volunteer work for Relay For Life and the Lord’s Harvest Pantry.

     Hunter was a member of the National Honor Society, the Interact Club, played varsity football and was a member of the Calculus Club.  He also was active with the Boy Scouts, earning the Order of the Arrow and the rank of Eagle Scout with two palms.

     The scholarship is offered in memory of Sarkis Pashaian, former drafting teacher and founder of Monroe Environmental Corp.  The scholarship is awarded to a Monroe High School drafting or architectural drafting student who will pursue a drafting, engineering or architecture pathway during post-secondary education.
