Shelving Inc. Announces 2020 Business Scholarship Winners

Shelving Inc., a second-generation family-owned provider of corporate and consumer shelving and storage solutions, hosted its sixth annual business scholarship contest to provide three eligible college students currently pursuing a major in business and/or enrolled in a business-related field of study with $1,500 or $1000 to help further their education. The 2020 winners include Vinh Le, Rachel Clark and Alexandra Isaac. Mike Schodowski, president of Shelving Inc., made the announcement.

The contest was offered to Michigan residents in support of educational goals for students in communities across the state. Eligible students included those entering college and students currently pursuing a business-related major, including retail management, finance, strategic design, supply chain management and human resources. The three scholarship recipients were selected based on the essays they wrote outlining their college aspirations. Le earned first place and received a $1,500 scholarship, while Clark and Isaac earned second and third place and were granted $1,000 scholarships.

“We understand the significance of a solid education and the importance of giving our youth every opportunity to shape their futures, now more than ever,” said Schodowski. “As a Michigan company, we want to do everything we can to assist students in our community with their aspirations. Throughout the long list of outstanding essay submissions, these three winners captured our attention with their emphasis on the importance of education, desire to follow their passions, and goals to seek personal success for themselves and future generations.”

Le plans to gain as much experience as possible with various volunteering and job opportunities while also attending Michigan State University to earn a degree in Hospitality Business. Clark currently attends Oakland University and wants to pursue a career as a tax accountant to help eliminate financial loss for those who are financially insecure by offering reduced consultation fees. Isaac plans to enter the Master of Accountancy program at the University of Michigan – Dearborn, and hopes her actions can positively impact the lives of others, all while doing what she loves.

Shelving Inc. continues to give back to the community by way of student scholarships, fundraisers and donations to organizations such as the Capuchin Ministries, The Downtown Detroit Youth Boxing Gym, Humble Design, Friends of Foster Care and many more.
