Tyler York from Crooms Academy of Information Technology in Seminole County and
Natalie Ganio from Edgewater High School in Orange County are this year's
recipients of the merit-based Northrop Grumman scholarship. They were recognized
in a ceremony at the company's Apopka-based Laser Systems business unit on May

"Northrop Grumman has a continuing need for engineers to ensure the success of
our business. We were very impressed with the credentials of these two young
aspiring engineers, and we are extremely pleased to be able to help them achieve
future educational goals," said Gordon Stewart, vice president and general
manager of the company's Laser Systems unit. "We received a large number of
exceptional applications, which made the selection process very challenging for
our review committee. In the end, these two hard-working, high-achieving
students were outstanding choices."
