Michigan Technological University's College of Business announces incoming student Ava Stoneberg as the 2020-21 Impact Scholarship recipient.
Stoneberg, daughter of David and Lisa, is a senior at Port Huron Northern High School.
Her accomplishments include serving as class president for the past five years and
leading her robotics team to the FIRST Robotics World Championship competition. In
addition to her studies in engineering management, Stoneberg plans to study abroad and participate in an internship during her time
at Michigan Tech.
She said: “I am so grateful for this opportunity to affordably achieve an education
in such a highly regarded business program. The majors offered are unique because
of the blend of business and STEM. I know I wouldn’t get an education like this anywhere
else.”
The Impact Scholarship, organized by Michigan Tech’s Admissions Office, Financial Aid Office and College of Business, is an annual competitive award recognizing business majors
and leaders at MTU. This year, 25 high school senior finalists from four states participated
in leadership activities on campus and received renewable awards ranging from $1,000
to full in-state tuition.
“Admissions Office staff were immediately impressed with Ava’s poised and professional
presence. We feel confident she will be an excellent ambassador for the Michigan Tech
College of Business as she continues to develop her leadership and business skills
as a student,” said Allison Carter, a director of admissions at Michigan Tech.
Stoneberg is also active in National Honor Society, Diversity Club, Ski Club, Renaissance
Club and Student Council. In her free time, she enjoys painting, hanging out with
friends and spending time in nature.
Next year’s Michigan Tech Impact Scholarship Competition will be held on campus in
Houghton, Michigan, Sunday, Jan. 31, 2021, and Monday, Feb. 1, 2021. The application
to apply will be available in summer 2020.
