Najewicz awarded $3,000 scholarship
Morgan Najewicz, a junior at Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus, has been awarded a $3,000 scholarship from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. The scholarship is awarded to students for outstanding scholastic and leadership abilities, character, potential service to the HVAC&R profession and financial need.
According to David Meredith, associate professor of engineering at Penn State Fayette, this is only the second time a female engineering student has received the scholarship.
Najewicz is working to complete two associate degrees at one time — building environmental systems technology and architectural engineering technology.
She serves as president of the student branch of ASHRAE, vice president of Women in Science Engineering Technology and is secretary of the Green Club at Penn State Fayette.
Currently, Najewicz is engaged in a second-year internship with PennDOT, carrying out bridge and roadway inspection on the Memorial Bridge project in Connellsville.
