OSCF Establishes Honorary Scholarship for Ohio Students (10/6/09)
The Ohio Soybean Council
Foundation (OSCF)
recently awarded the first ever Bhima Vijayendran Scholarship of $5,000 to
Julia Faeth of New Riegel, OH. This was made possible thanks to a
$50,000 grant from Battelle
to establish an annual scholarship for an outstanding undergraduate student
interested in pursuing a career in agricultural science and technology. It
is named in honor of Dr. Bhima Vijayendran, a Battelle researcher who has made
significant contributions to the bioproducts and soybean industries.
In addition, the Ohio Soybean Council (OSC) contributed matching funds of $50,000 to create a $100,000 endowment that will ensure that the Bhima Vijayendran Scholarship will be available to students for many years to come.
“Bhima has been a leader in the soy-based bioproducts field, so it was a natural fit when we decided to establish and name a scholarship in honor of him and his work,” said Kirk Merritt, OSCF director of outreach and programs. “We thank Battelle for making this scholarship possible.”
Vijayendran is a recognized authority on specialty chemical and polymer systems for a range of applications.
