William A. Wintz, Jr. Scholarship

Each year, the LES Baton Rouge Chapter awards scholarships to undergraduate engineering students at LSU and Southern.  The scholarship is awarded at the E-Week Banquet and is funded through the generosity of our members through sponsorship of the Student Function and Golf Tournament.  Our goal is to honor deserving engineering students and encourage them to attain their PE license, and of course, join LES.

This scholarship is in honor of William A. Wintz, Jr., PE, RLS, who served a key role in the Baton Rouge Chapter's Scholarship program until his death on January 16, 1985.  He was a professor at LSU, retiring in May, 1979 with a teaching career that spanned 5 decades.  He accidentally shot his own left hand off with a shotgun around the age of 14. He told me that the accident helped him realize that he would have to make a living with his brains, not just his hand. But he NEVER considered himself handicapped, and anyone who saw him set up a transit or "throw" a chain would had agreed.  (Bert Wintz)
