WEST BLOOMFIELD &emdash; Three students from West Bloomfield High School won $10,000 national scholarships to pursue engineering degrees in college.
The students participated in the Ford Partnership for Advanced Studies and won the scholarships, which the Society of Manufacturing Engineers sponsored with Ford PAS. West Bloomfield High School has a bit of a dynasty going with the scholarship winners in the past few years.
“Now we have three more, and we had three last year and two the year before. So, over $80,000 in scholarships have been won by our students,” said Kate Soderstrom, the Ford PAS coordinator at West Bloomfield High School. The students receive $2,500 a year for four years.
West Bloomfield students have almost monopolized the scholarships.
“There are four available nationwide, and so for us to have gotten three of them is pretty remarkable,” said Soderstrom.
