At a Michigan State Utility Workers Council Board Meeting held on May 13, 2022, five blind drawings were conducted for the 2022 Marshall M. Hicks Scholarships, with the winners being: Westin Schell, son of Damian Schell, Local 104-Saginaw; Broc Shoemaker, son of Scott Shoemaker, Local 258-Adrian/Erie; Hailey Rhoads, daughter of David Rhoads, Local 254-Macomb; Jagger Chism, son of Matthew Chism, Local 388-Campbell; and Nicole Yacks, daughter of Robert Yacks, Local 104-Saginaw.
Each recipient has received a one-time payment in the amount of $1,000.
This year's students are the 61st through the 65th recipients to the scholarships in honor of the late Marshall M. Hicks, who was the past National UWUA President and Secretary-Treasurer, and President of the MSUWC. The first scholarships were awarded in 1998.
The MSUWC would like to congratulate all the winners on their achievements and we wish them the best as they go forward to pursue their education and careers.
