Primera awards three scholarship winners of the Kropp Strong Scholarship program

Primera recognized three scholarship winners at its Annual Meeting and Trade Show July 18-20 in Madison, Wis. The Kropp Strong Scholarship program honors Michael Kropp, a past board chairman for Primera.

The Kropp Strong Scholarship is open to full-time employees of Primera Members attending an accredited college.

“This was our first time our entire membership had been together since we lost Michael to his battle with colon cancer in December,” Jeff Braun, CEO of Primera, said. “It was only fitting to honor his legacy with the Kropp Strong Scholarship program after the tragedy of losing a friend and colleague like Michael.”

Hailey Bohrer, a finance major at West Virginia University, Rosabella Pitera, who is pursuing her medical doctorate at the University of Minnesota and John Martin, IV, an engineering student at the University of North Georgia, were all awarded the scholarship.

Kropp’s wife, Mary Beth and son, Alex, were able to attend the event and distribute the awards.
