Ai Engstrom National Scholarship

PCB Solutions, a provider of high-quality printed circuit board manufacturing, is pleased to announce we will be holding a “Chuan Ai Lu Engstrom Memorial Scholarship Contest”. The winner selected will receive a $1000 scholarship to the college of their attendance.

The scholarship was created in tribute to former employee Chuan Ai Lu Engstrom who passed away in 2014 from uterine cancer. Ai emigrated from China after marrying PCB Solutions’ president Greg Engstrom and became an American citizen.

Ai loved learning English and was proud to be an American. This scholarship is in honor of her loving, kind and patient legacy. She was an optimistic, loving human being. Even in the worst of times and through her pain and suffering, she was always optimistic. She smiled her way through life and will be greatly missed. She is survived and always loved by family, friends and her husband, Greg Engstrom.
