Jean Weil Scholarship
Financial Contributors
Several major corporations and other well-known groups are involved currently in making significant financial contributions to the Jean Weil Scholarship Program. While each of these entities have maintained a low-key approach to their involvement, we would like to take a moment to recognize their efforts and thank them for their donations and their support of this worthwhile program. Their continued support keeps these scholarships alive to deserving youngsters each year. The major contributors are listed below in alphabetical order.
- Abdul Al-Romaizan - Trying to define Abdul in one paragraph is like trying to hold back the tides -- it's just impossible! The most devoted military drill aficionado walking the planet, Abdul devotes countless hours to one of his many passions -- drill. One of his most noted accomplishments is The Drill Jungle, the world's preeminent military drill website. Filled with history, biographies, legendary videos, chat areas and other interesting items, the site is awe-inspiring as one of the finest web designs and layouts ever produced. This makes The Drill Jungle a "must-see" for any true fan of drill. A natural extension of his love for drill is his involvement with the Jean Weil Scholarship Fund. I can call Abdul amazing, brash, insightful, complex, and a few other adjectives, but I most enjoy calling him a friend and huge supporter of the National High School Drill Team Championships.
- Pearson Publishing - Pearson Custom Publishing is a division of Pearson Education. It is one of the world's leading textbook publishers including Prentice Hall, Allyn & Bacon/Longman and Addison Wesley/Benjamin Cummings. Our special thanks go out to Mr. Mark Loechel of Pearson Publishing for all of the coordination he provides in the scholarship arena to the JKW Foundation. Both Pearson Publishing, as well as AMS listed above remain the original donors that began the Jean K. Weil Foundation. Without their initial support back in 2001, this fantastic scholarship may never have taken flight!
- Texas A&M Corps of Cadets - Texas A&M consistently produces more officers for the Armed Forces than any other Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) source. With Army, Air Force, and Navy/Marine ROTC instruction available, Texas A&M is one of the few schools to offer military commissions in all branches of service. We are proud to include the name of this fine institution of higher learning as contributors to the JKW scholarship. Special thanks go out to SGM Dennis Hastings for his tireless work on behalf of both Texas A&M and the cadets of the Nationals in regards to the JKW Foundation.
