Western Growers is proud to announce Hudson Treloar as this year’s WG Scholarship recipient. Hudson and his parents, Owen and Julie Ann, met some of this year’s judges at a luncheon on August 2, where he was awarded $2,000.

“I am delighted to be a recipient of the Western Growers scholarship, and I will endeavor to make the most of this incredible opportunity,” Hudson said. “This fall, I will be starting my Master’s in Aerospace Engineering at UCLA, and this generous gift will help me to finance my pursuit of higher education.”

Hudson wrote in his scholarship application essay that his loftiest goal is to one day be part of the team that brings the first humans to Mars.

The WG scholarship was established to benefit the children and grandchildren of WGFC employees. WGFC is proud to reward and invest in highly motivated students to achieve their dreams of higher education.

This year’s judges were Dave Puglia, President and CEO; Steve Mangapit, President, Pinnacle/COO; Ward Kennedy, SVP of Finance and CFO; and Karen Timmins, SVP of Human Resources.

Congratulations, Hudson!
