AAMA Opens Scholarship Program for 2012

In 2012, the AAMA Scholarship Program will again offer children of employees of AAMA member companies the opportunity to obtain financial aid for higher education in pursuit of a degree in an engineering or technical field relating to the building products industry. The scholarship is a one-time award of $2,000. Applicants are judged on grade point average, college entrance exam scores and a 500-word essay. Eligible candidates must be high school seniors or college students who are children of employees of AAMA member companies in good standing.

The AAMA Scholarship Partner Program is another member benefit that is again being offered in 2012. The Partner Program allows companies to extend an added benefit to their employees’ children with opportunities for financial aid in furthering their education.

Or, if your company already offers a scholarship program, partnering with AAMA can significantly reduce the administrative resources that your company allocates to its program. In the Partner Program, AAMA oversees the program set-up, including the online application process and promotional materials, and also utilizes a third-party selection team to review applications and select scholarship recipients. AAMA will communicate with your company about the status of submitted applications and final winner selection.

The application process for the AAMA Scholarship Program and the Partner Program opens January 1, 2012. More details about both programs are available on the AAMA website.

Contact Jaqueline Saenz for further information about the AAMA Scholarship Program, including announcement materials (brochure and poster) for posting in common areas such as break rooms and conference rooms. Please also feel free to forward this information to your co-workers in order to spread the word about this opportunity. To participate in the Partner Program, contact Jacqueline by December 12, 2011, in order to take advantage of this school year’s selection process.
