Campus Spirit Scholar Award Winners Announced Weekly During Football Season
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Recognizing outstanding Penn State students for their dual commitment of achieving success in the classroom and serving within the community is exactly what Philadelphia-based Dietz & Watson is looking for over the next seven weeks.
During the Nittany Lions’ football match up against Indiana on Saturday, Oct. 5, the first 2013 Dietz & Watson Campus Spirit Scholar award winner will be announced. Applicants already are completing entry forms in hopes of winning a $500 scholarship and another $500 to donate to a Penn State non-profit campus charity of their choice – each week. All students attending the more than 20 campuses throughout Pennsylvania are eligible to win one of the seven scholarships, to be awarded weekly from Oct. 5 – Nov. 23, 2013.

Dietz & Watson was founded in 1939 by Gottlieb Dietz, a talented young German sausage maker. His primary goal was to produce the most flavorful, highest-quality deli meats in the marketplace to please even the most discriminating palate. His old-world recipes and commitment to “quality above all else” demanded nothing less than the freshest lean grain-fed Midwest beef, Canadian pork, turkey breast and chicken breast enhanced with fresh, all-natural spices and seasonings. Dietz & Watson never uses artificial flavors, colors, fillers, extenders or MSG.
