The Northern Ohio Chapter of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc. (ISRI) has announced the recipients of its 2011 scholarship awards.

“We had 15 excellent candidates this year who applied, and we are proud to announce our three scholarship winners this year,” says ISRI Northern Ohio Chapter president Bill Ivancic. “ISRI members have always worked to serve their communities, and our annual scholarship awards are an important way in which we do that.”

“The Northern Ohio Chapter is proud to assist these young adults as they pursue their educations,” says scholarship chairman Matt Kripke. “The recycling industry has always thrived on the idea of remaking things. With these scholarships the ISRI community of Northern Ohio has the opportunity to assist in building something—to pay it forward if you will.”
