A Letter from Terry Ni, Founder of the TN Scholarship to the EFW (Engineers Foundation of Wisconsin) regarding the announcement of the 6 scholarship recipients for 2023. Hi Everyone, Our six member evaluation committee has completed the review and made their recommendations of the recipients to me. Once again, we have seen more than 30 outstanding applicants. It has always been difficult to choose just a few among so many. It is more so this year. For example, no selection members ranked the same applicant at the top of their list. It was the same for number 2. A total of 16 applicants were selected. After carefully reviewing the information provided by all six selection members in comparison to the information provided by the EFW, I made the following selections in order of rank. 1. Brooke Stanley $4000 TN Engineering Scholarship 2. Taylor Bergner $4000. TN Engineering scholarship. 3. Andrew Fujimoto $3000 TN Engineering Scholarship 4. Tiffany Stephens $3000 TN Engineering Scholarship 5. Madison Bloch $3000 TN Engineering Scholarship 6. Kendall Witt $3000 TN Engineering Scholarship in memory of Heather Cotey. Thanks. Terry Ni, PE

A letter from Danika Wanish, a 2022 TN Engineering Scholarship recipient to Terry Ni, the Founder and Chairman of the Committee Dear Ms. Ni, I am grateful and honored to receive the Terry Ni Engineering Scholarship though the Engineers Foundation of Wisconsin. Thank you for this generous gift. Coming from a lower-income family, I will use this scholarship to help make my dream of attending college come true. Although I have not yet decided where I will attend college next year, I enthusiastically look forward to studying engineering. With a focus on the environment, I hope to help develop solutions for sustainable communities and ecosystems in my career. I am currently taking a class in soil science and the content fascinates me; I hope to continue studying soil science through the lense of environmental engineering while in college. Sincerely, Danika Wanish (from Madison, WI)

A letter from Terry Ni, the Founder and Chairman of the Committee, to the President and officers of the Wisconsin Society of Prefessional Engineers (WSPE), and all of the Committee members and the selection panel members Dear Friends and Colleagues, With profound sadness, I am informing you that our good friend and colleague Heather Cotey passed away yesterday, December 19, 2021. As we all know, Heather was a strong person and she fought so hard with her illness. She was dedicated, hard-working and always enthusiastic for her work and Community services. She is also a dear friend to me personally. She and I not the only worked together for over 24 years, but she also helped me create the TN Engineering Scholarship and she has been the primary administrator for the scholarship. I’m sure her energy, enthusiasm and warm smile will always stay in our hearts and be deeply missed. Terry Ni, PE (inactive)
