RHOADS ENERGY CREATES UNIQUE LOCK-DOWN SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The Rhoads Energy Family of Companies hosted a summer internship program for nine young adults from Central Pennsylvania. The company awarded $18,000 in scholarships to participants who created their own self-directed, research-based projects. No limits were placed on the subject matter, resulting in projects that covered diverse industries and topics:  engaging in art projects with children, the effects of COVID-19 on tourism, the production of glass from chicken manure, and many others. 

The eight-week program culminated in (safe, socially distanced) presentations of the participants’ results and an award of $2,000 per student.
