Midmark
Offering $20,000 Technical Scholarship
DAYTON, Ohio, Feb. 1, 2017 — Midmark Corp. (“Midmark”), is offering a
$20,000 technical scholarship to a graduating high school senior who is
a resident of Darke, Miami, Mercer, Auglaize or Shelby County high
schools. Eligible seniors must be pursuing a bachelor’s degree at an
accredited four-year university in computer science, engineering,
information technology, computer information systems or management
information systems.
This scholarship offers not only money for tuition; it offers an
opportunity to gain experience. The scholarship winner interns during
their college summer breaks; beginning in production and gaining more
responsibilities each year. After college graduation, the student must
commit at least three years of employment with Midmark. Paid out
incrementally throughout a four-year program, the recipient is chosen
based on his or her application and interview with an internal panel of
Midmark Teammates.
Renee Schmitmeyer is the 2009 recipient of the Midmark Technical
Scholarship. Upon graduating high school, she began pursuing an
engineering degree at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.
Schmitmeyer had a keen interest in healthcare and physics, leading her
to choose a biomedical engineering focus. During her summers off, she
took advantage of her secured internships at Midmark—first on the
assembly line, then operations, and her final two summers of undergrad
were spent in new product development.
Now a new product development engineer at Midmark, Schmitmeyer shared
“There was so much value to starting in production in my current role
as an engineer. I became well-acquainted with our products and their
components, and now, I am able to easily take the assembly process into
account when designing new products.” She continues, “The technical
scholarship program gave me the opportunity to pursue an education at a
one of the nation’s best schools for my discipline, and also helped me
decide to pursue a master’s in engineering management. And knowing that
I had a full-time job lined up after graduation was just icing on the
cake.”
When asked why she continues to stay with Midmark, Schmitmeyer stated,
“Midmark has one of the best cultures—professional, but relaxed. I like
the people, their values and the reward of knowing that our healthcare
products and services help people.”
Midmark is pleased to support education and learning within its
communities. This is the eighteenth year Midmark has offered a
technical scholarship. Eligible students should contact their guidance
counselor for more information. Scholarship applications are due Feb.
24, 2017.
