In the tradition of the former EXPO Erie, the Great Lakes Industrial Technology Summit will use proceeds to fund engineering scholarships for locally bound college students. We believe the future of strengthening our industrial economy lies in a solid knowledge base of workers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The Great Lakes Summit brings industry to the forefront of dialogue. That’s where it should be.

In the past, EXPO Erie achievements have provided the funding for the following programs:

• The Balmer scholarship, given in the junior year of a 4-year program goes to 5 students every year with a total of $100,000 awarded in the last 10 years alone.

• The Gray scholarship, presented to 3-4 students in the second year of a 2-year technology program with $17,500 being awarded in the last 10 years.

• The student activities support of $4,000 per year to help support programs such as:

The Great Lakes Summit will continue this tradition of providing scholarships to the next generation, if you would like to support the endowment please make contributions payable to the Technology Council of Northwest PA - Endowment Fund.
