NORTH CANTON, Ohio, Feb. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR; www.timken.com) is helping to fulfill the dreams of a future pharmaceutical developer, an aspiring criminology professor and 15 other high school scholars with big ambitions of their own. Today from its World Headquarters in North Canton, Timken presented college scholarships—valued at $540,000 over a four-year period—to 17 children of Timken associates from six countries. Since launching the annual program in 1958, The Timken Company Charitable and Educational Fund has awarded more than $24 million in scholarships to deserving students.
Ioana Babarus, daughter of senior process design engineer Dana Babarus and Dragos Babarus, earned the Henry Timken Scholar Award, valued at $35,000 annually, up to $140,000 over four years. Ioana, who plans to open her own pharmaceutical laboratory one day, is a senior at Alexandru Ioan Cuza College in Ploiesti, Romania, and plans to study pharmacy at Carol Davila University in Bucharest, Romania.
An accomplished scholar, Ioana has studied in China, France and the United Kingdom, and has volunteered extensively with foster children. She hopes someday to establish a charitable organization that would send pharmacy students to isolated communities to provide medicine to help care for people.
Jeanna Hill, daughter of manufacturing associate Charles Hill and Denine Di Lucchio, earned the Jack Timken Scholar Award, valued at $25,000 annually, up to $100,000 over four years. The Uniontown High School (Kansas) senior said she hopes to be a criminology professor one day. First, however, she will study math and sociology at the University of Kansas.
The avid musician, who qualified for the John Philip Sousa Award in Kansas, is a member of Uniontown's marching, pep and concert bands and has performed with the Pitt State University Crimson and Gold band.
"Students like Ioana, Jeanna and our other award winners assure us that our future is in very capable hands," said Timken Chairman John M. Timken, Jr. "These young men and women are poised to make a difference in whatever endeavor they chose to pursue all around the world."
Joining Babarus and Hill as scholarship winners, five students received $10,000 annual awards worth up to $40,000 over four years. They include:
