CANTON, Ohio, Dec. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The TimkenSteel
Charitable Fund named seven new TimkenSteel scholars today who will
receive $145,000 in scholarship
funds.
The high school seniors, all children of TimkenSteel Corporation
employees, will use the funds to pursue bachelor's degrees at
accredited universities. They participated in a highly competitive
application process which was open to employees' children around
the world and based upon academic and extracurricular
achievement.
"When you employ some of the best people in industry, it follows
that their children emerge as leaders in their schools and
communities. These seven students join a group of 30 TimkenSteel
scholars who are excelling in their college pursuits, and we're
proud to support them in this way," said Elaine Russell Reolfi, executive vice president
of organizational advancement and corporate relations, who
presented the scholarships Friday morning with other TimkenSteel
leaders.
The TimkenSteel Charitable Fund launched in 2014 when
TimkenSteel Corporation (NYSE: TMST, timkensteel.com), a leader in
customized alloy steel products and services, became an independent
company. The steelmaker's tradition of awarding scholarships to
employees' children dates to 1958 and, since 2014 when the fund was
established, TimkenSteel has awarded $780,000 in scholarships.

CEO and president, was on hand at Jackson High School to present
the top award to Ryan Soltis,
