Arctic Directory October 2015: Crowley scholarships help four students achieve goals
Crowley Maritime Corp.’s Thomas B. Crowley Sr. Memorial Scholarships have helped four students at the University of Washington’s Michael G. Foster School of Business achieve their academic goals. The students, Jason Cisneros, Callie Hamilton, Irah Dizon and Joshua Banks, were chosen to receive the $2,500 scholarships for the 2014-15 academic year based on their demonstrated financial need, community involvement and leadership skills.
Jason Cisneros, a junior from Honolulu, Hawaii, had dreams of studying abroad but was not sure he and his family could afford it. With funds from the Crowley scholarship, Cisneros was able to spend a semester studying at the University of Sydney in Australia. He expects to graduate in the spring of 2016.
Callie Hamilton, a scholarship recipient from Vancouver, Washington, is a sophomore studying business with a focus in marketing. The Crowley scholarship has helped Hamilton pay for her tuition and school costs so that she may focus her efforts on volunteering at the business school’s advancement department and working part-time as a student manager at the UW student call center. Following graduation, Hamilton plans to begin a career in marketing or advancement, possibly at UW.
Irah Dizon, from Tacoma, Washington, is a junior studying supply chain management and human resource management and operations. The Crowley scholarship has allowed Dizon to dedicate her time to school work and her internship in Seattle City Light’s safety and human relations department. After graduation, Dizon hopes to have a successful career in upper management and travel the world.
Joshua Banks, a junior from Washougal, Washington, is studying accounting and finance at UW’s business school. This scholarship has helped Banks to pay for his school costs, freeing up his time to focus on studies and volunteer work. Following graduation, Banks plans to pursue a career in financial services.
