Stehmans Endow Trustee Matching Scholarship in Wood Products

Students majoring in wood products at Penn State will benefit from a new Trustee Matching Scholarship established by Joan L. and Malcolm H. Stehman. The Stehmans have committed $50,000 for the scholarship, which will assist students who have financial need. Malcolm Stehman, a 1956 Penn State graduate in wood utilization, spent his career with Westvaco, U.S. Plywood, Champion International and Georgia Pacific, retiring in 1996 as manager of eastern U.S. particleboard and medium density fiberboard manufacturing. This is the second scholarship the Stehmans have established to benefit wood products majors in the College of Agricultural Sciences, having endowed a previous award in 2001. The Stehmans, both natives of Lancaster County, now reside in Roswell, Ga.
