LACONIA — New Hampshire Ball Bearings, Inc., in partnership with Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation,  has announced the creation of the NH Ball Bearings, Inc. Manufacturing Excellence Award. This award is open to any graduating senior that is looking to pursue a higher education in the fields of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.

There will be two awards given at each of the seven area high schools. One award will be given to a student who is attending a four-year college or university program, and one award will be given to a student pursuing a two-year degree program. Two students meeting the criteria will be selected from each of the following high schools: Laconia High School, Gilford High School, Belmont High School, Winnisquam Regional High School, Interlakes High School, Franklin High School, and Newfound Regional High School.

NHBB’s Astro Division located in Laconia, proudly supports many local organizations and they are excited to add these student awards in support of graduating seniors pursuing a higher education in a STEM field. The ultimate reward for them would be to see the recipients succeed in their educational goals and bring their talents back to the Lakes Region.

The Manufacturing Excellence Award recipients will be chosen by the Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation Board of Directors, and funds will be distributed through the Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation and awarded to the selected recipient at their school’s Senior Academic Awards night.
