Jessup awards scholarship to Harvard resident

McHENRY - Jessup Manufacturing Co announced Miguel Quintero of Harvard the winner of the 2017 Paul S. Jessup Scholarship.

Quintero is a student at Rockford Career College in the CNC and Robot Manufacturing Technology program. He will receive a $2,500 grant from Jessup to support his continued education.

"After reading his essay, it was clear that Miguel's personal story and commitment to his family and career aligned with the Jessup Success Factors and contributed toward his selection," said Robert A. Jessup, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "Miguel embodies the Jessup spirit of success and we congratulate him on this outstanding achievement."

Quintero grew up in Harvard and resides there with his wife Ana and 20-month-old daughter Genesis. His desire to be a good role model for his daughter is what motivated him to go back to school.

"I appreciate Jessup's generosity in helping me build a career in the manufacturing field," said Quintero. "I didn't have the chance to go to college like most high school seniors. Winning this scholarship helps to achieve my goal."

Jessup Manufacturing is a global manufacturer of adhesive coated films used in many industries, including industrial and facility safety, transportation, architecture and construction, sports, graphics media and diversified manufacturing.
