NETSA Celebrates $500,000 Scholarship Milestone

NETSA celebrated reaching the milestone of awarding $539,000 in scholarship money to its members and their employee families by awarding a $5000 Scholarship to Andrew Kapocious of Maine. Andrew, initially awarded the William J. Clark Memorial Scholarship sponsored by Cooper Tire, was selected in a random drawing of all twenty scholarship recipients. Andrew is the son of Alan Kapocius, manager of member Don Foshay’s Discount Tire & Alignment.

Andrew had this to say about the scholarship award; “The money is an unbelievable help to me, and I am grateful for your kindness and willingness to help students. I look forward to my new career, and I appreciate you helping me get there.”

Cooper Tire’s John Pardi said he was proud of Cooper’s long-time sponsorship in the NETSA Scholarship Program and pleased that Andrew was selected for this first-time award. He is a deserving and accomplished young man, and Cooper Tire wishes him success in his academic and career pursuits.

I am proud of NETSA’s continued support of this yearly program, which has awarded over 280 scholarships and $539,000 over the last two plus decades. This was possible because of the commitments of our sponsor companies and the NETSA Board of Directors. It was exciting to present the award on behalf of NETSA at our member Don Foshay’s Discount Tire & Alignment Biddeford location. I will ask the NETSA Scholarship Committee to suggest to the NETSA Board the possibility of awarding another $5,000 scholarship in 2024 in addition to our many $2000 scholarships currently offered.

Congratulations Andrew and best wishes for your continued success.
