In announcing this year's scholarships, Ken Sternad, president of The UPS Foundation, said, "Our young people, our communities, and our workforce all benefit from increased educational opportunities. The UPS Foundation is proud to continue our longstanding partnership to support the deserving students whose education these scholarships fund."
