Eligible recipients will receive a college scholarship, college and state recognition, and an invitation to the State Ambassador/President’s Awards recognition banquet. Scholarships are provided by the MATC foundation.

Danielle was selected as State Ambassador from a pool of three top MATC students that included:

* Thomas Brzezicki, Logistics and Material Management
