VMA Awards William Sandler Scholarship to Four Outstanding Students

The Valve Manufacturers Association of America (VMA) awarded its 2022 William Sandler Scholarship award to four standout students, Stephen Bayreuther, Brooklyn Dixon, Colleen Foster, and Jacob Mizer

Now entering its fourth year, the VMA William “Bill” Sandler Scholarship Program was established to provide educational opportunities to the children of VMA and VRC member company employees. The program provides financial assistance to help offset the rising cost of postsecondary education–both in technical schools and 4-year universities and colleges–and promote career pursuit in areas of importance for the valve manufacturing industry.

VMA recently named students Stephen Bayreuther, Brooklyn Dixon, Colleen Foster, and Jacob Mizer recipients of the 2022 William Sandler Scholarship Award.

Stephen Bayreuther is attending West Virginia University and whose parent, David Bayreuther, works at Valmet.

Brooklyn Dixon is attending Texas A&M and whose parent, Jimmy Dixon, works at Emerson Automation.
