Every year, the Society for Technical Information awards scholarships to four students who are preparing for careers in some area of technical communication. The $1500 awards are given to two undergraduates and two graduate students to help with school tuition and expenses for accredited degree programs.

This year, one of the awards went to Heidi Trost of Henrietta, NY. A graduate of Nazareth College, Ms. Trost plans to pursue advanced studies at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT.)

The STC International Scholarship Committee awarded the scholarship to Ms. Trost based on her outstanding academic record, the high quality of her technical documentation and graphic design projects, and her potential for contributing to the rapidly changing technical communication profession.

Since 1971, STC has awarded these annual scholarships to improve the transfer of technical information through such occupations as technical writing and editing, graphical design, interface design, and Web design.
