2024 Scholarships Awarded

July 15, 2024

Three students were recently awarded scholarships on behalf of Egan Company and partnering employees. 

The annual Grunerud-Egan Scholarship awards scholarships to two individuals to aid in their pursuit of careers related to construction, engineering, and the trades, supported by Dane Grunerud, Egan Company Senior Project Manager. Zach Welsch and Edwin Solorio were named recipients of the Grunerud-Egan Scholarship this year, receiving $1,000 each toward their schooling. 

Zach is a coil-cleaner in Egan’s Service department, and is attending Century College for his associate’s degree in HVAC-R. Edwin is an Assistant Project Manager with Egan’s Electrical Construction team and is going to school to earn a degree in Electrical Construction Design and Management from Dunwoody College of Technology. 

This year, a third scholarship was sponsored by Mark and Char Broadwater. Mark is Egan’s Vice President of ATS. Their sponsored scholarship awarded $1,000 to Dawson Oelrich, who is attending Northwest Technical College for Electrical and is currently working on a solar project in Southern Minnesota.

This is the fourth year that the Grunerud-Egan scholarship has been awarded, and the first that was awarded in partnership with the Broadwaters. The scholarships are open to Egan employees, as well as the children and grandchildren of employees, and are awarded based on financial need, community involvement, extracurricular activities, academic activities, and an essay/video response.

Congratulations to this year’s recipients!
