Ten deserving “children of our industry” received CREST Foundation scholarships sure to take the sting out of their college tuition payment this year, the student scholars splitting $100,000 between them in the first-ever CREST scholarship offering. The ten are the sons and daughters of peers working within our industry at various shops around the country.

This year’s student scholars were identified as: Delane Bass, Kate Borghgraef, Giang Chau, Andrea Clabaugh, Jonathan Corrigan, Hannah Dean-Wood, Anna Goodrich, Michael Hamman, Amanda Race, and Samantha Pye. Their parents work at Air Graphics; BHFX LLC; Blair Graphics; CADCopy & Supply; City Blue Print; Duncan-Parnell, Inc.; Print-O-Stat, Inc.; Reprographic Consultants; San JoseBlue/Inprint; and Veenstra Reprographics.

CREST Foundation (Children of Reprographics Employees Scholarship Trust) awards are funded by the generous donations of individuals, reprographic companies, industry vendors and financial institutions. This year’s recipients were chosen by the CREST Foundation’s Selection Committee, whose members include industry veterans Bill Thomas, Mike Carter, Cathleen Cushing Duff, John Deermount, and Miguel Garcia.
