The Robert J. Besal Memorial Education Fund (Besal Fund), a trust established to provide a continuing scholarship program for the advancement of education in illuminating engineering disciplines, is proud to announce the\u00a0recipients of its scholarships<\/u><\/a>\u00a0for the 2024-25 academic year. This year, the Besal Fund has awarded 17 scholarships, totaling $114,500, to students from participating schools. These scholarships are a testament to the Besal Fund’s ongoing commitment to advancing education in illuminating engineering disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s recipients include 14 undergraduate scholarships and three graduate scholarships, awarded to students at the following universities: University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Colorado State University, Boulder, Penn State, and University of Nebraska-Lincoln.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1983 as a nonprofit trust, The Besal Fund <\/strong>aspires to encourage talented and committed students to pursue a career in the lighting industry and illuminating engineering fields. It has awarded over $1.5 million in scholarships to students from accredited schools throughout the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the 2024-2025 graduate scholarship recipients is Kelsi Weilage, an upcoming master’s student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln majoring in Architectural Engineering with a focus on electrical and lighting systems. Weilage, who will graduate in May 2025, shared how the scholarship has impacted her educational journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As an upcoming graduate student in the Architectural Engineering program who specializes in electrical and lighting systems, I have developed and explored my passion for lighting over the course of my academic career,\u201d said Weilage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weilage\u2019s goals for her career in the lighting industry reflect her passion for integrating human-centric and environmentally conscious electrical and lighting systems into buildings. She aims to push the boundaries of lighting design to improve the human and environmental impacts of buildings as a lighting designer for commercial building projects. Weilage is dedicated to practicing sustainable design and hopes to see measurable outcomes in terms of energy efficiency and waste reduction. She is excited about her future in the lighting industry and the opportunities that have\u00a0opened up\u00a0to her with the Besal Fund Scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks to the Besal Fund, I can focus entirely on my educational and professional pursuits, as I can dedicate even more of my time and energy towards my degree with this additional support,\u201d continued Weilage. \u201cI would like to express my sincerest thanks to the Besal Fund Board for investing in my future and recognizing my passion and dedication towards lighting design.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
