    LAS VEGAS (Nov. 5, 2014) – The Tire Industry Association (TIA) and Michelin North America Inc. have selected three recent high school graduates, whose parents work at TIA member companies, to receive their jointly sponsored scholarships for the 2014-15 academic school year.

    The students selected – Alexa Swingle of Omaha, Neb., Zachary Taylor of Mt. Olive, Ill., and Kaitlyn Wade of Stevensville, Mich. – will share $6,250 to be used toward their college education.

    The students selected – Alexa Swingle of Omaha, Neb., Zachary Taylor of Mt. Olive, Ill., and Kaitlyn Wade of Stevensville, Mich. – will share $6,250 to be used toward their college education.

    The students were selected for their academic and extracurricular achievements, TIA said. Each winner cited the importance of this scholarship in helping to cover the costs of their continued education.

    “With the cost of higher education continuing to increase, we know how important these scholarships are to the recipients.

    "TIA is pleased to work alongside Michelin again this year to sponsor this program,” said TIA executive vice president Roy Littlefield.

    Michelin and TIA have awarded scholarships to part-time employees or dependent children of full-time employees of TIA member tire dealers every year since 2000. Since its inception, the partners have awarded more than $250,000 to 49 recipients who have gone on to attend accredited two-year, four-year, technical or vocational schools.

    Once awarded, the recipients may renew the scholarship for up to three more years.

    Ms. Swingle graduated from Millard West High School and is the daughter of Halsey Swingle of TCi L.L.C. in Columbia, S.C. She attends the University of South Carolina and plans a career as a pharmacist at a children's hospital.

    Mr. Taylor is a recent graduate of Gillespie High School and is the son of Michael Taylor of Taylor Tire & Auto Inc. in Litchfield, Ill. He's attending Upper Iowa University and studies criminal justice. He hopes to become a state trooper and eventually a member of the FBI, TIA said.

    Ms. Wade graduated from Lakeshore High School and attends Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Mich. She is the daughter of Mark Wade of M&W Tire in Benton Harbor, Mich.

    The scholarship winners were recognized at the Tire Industry Honors Awards Ceremony held on Nov. 3 at Caesars Palace Las Vegas.
