Haas Scholarships to provide financial assistance to students planning to pursue their post-secondary
education at an accredited four-year college/university, community college, technical institute, or trade
school in the field of manufacturing or machining.
In 1999 Gene Haas founded the Gene Haas Foundation. Haas is the owner of Haas Automation, Inc.,
America’s leading builder of CNC machine tools, which he started in 1983. Haas Automation is now a
billion dollar company and this extraordinary growth has all come in an era when Americans were being
told that the United States doesn’t manufacture anything anymore. A recent report, called “The Skills
Gap in U.S. Manufacturing 2015 and Beyond,” projects that, “Over the next decade, nearly three and a
half million manufacturing jobs will likely need to be filled, and the skills gap is expected to result in 2
million of those jobs going unfilled.” Gene’s commitment to the importance of US manufacturing has
incited him to focus on manufacturing education in the form of scholarships for CNC machinist training.

• be a Lake Park High School graduate of the Class of 2018.

Scott Bradley was a Lake Park student and wrestler whose connection with our school began many years
before, when he wrestled with the Lancer Kids Club as a young child. Scott was a gentleman who

strived for excellence through hard work on the mat and in the classroom.
Unfortunately, Scott’s wrestling career ended suddenly during his junior year when he was diagnosed
with leukemia. For six months, Scott battled his illness with the same determination that he battled his
opponents on the mat. On May 5, 1986, the Lake Park community suffered a great loss. The following
year his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Olav Bradley, established the Scott Bradley Memorial Scholarship as a
loving tribute to their son. In his memory, his family wishes to award one $1,500 scholarship to a
