In 2011 Panthera Edge did not receive any scholarship applications; therefore, in 2012 we granted 2 scholarships. The MSU scholarship was received by Nathan Umlor and Shane Snyder.
Nathan graduated in 2016 and works for MSU in the Contracts & Grants Dept. and has his Master's Degree. Shane graduated in 2017 with a Civil Engineering BS and works for Rowe Professional Services Co.
Our fifth scholarship was awarded to Kyle Meintsma in 2013. He graduated from MSU in 2019 with a Forestry degree, serves as 2nd lieutenant in the Army National Guard, and works for Bartlett Tree Experts.
