In a ceremony held earlier this month, the recipients of the state farm scholarship and their families were joined by the officials of State Farm and WMU. The dean of WMU College of education Dr. Gary L. Wegenke was the first one to congratulate the recipients for their hard work that involved educating local children. Then the vice president of operations for State Farm, Mark Odland, said a few words on how the job of being a teacher can change the world. The students successfully completed five months in a teaching position at districts schools around Michigan. These positions were provided by the Western Michigan Universitys Partnership Team. The Universitys program had been funded $32,000 from State Farm and has been nationally acknowledged as a well-known curriculum for a Teacher Program. The partnership of WMU and State Farm look for different ways to provide area public schools with great education for children and future teachers. The State Farm Companies Foundation makes many donations to national scholarship programs. They fund programs run by the Hispanic scholarship Fund, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation and the American India College Fund. The State Farm Companies Foundation was established at 1963 as a non profit organization that helps children obtain good quality education. Additionally to the $32,000 donated to the University Partnership scholarship fund, they have also given $60,000 Western Michigan University.
