The FIA Operations Americas Division is pleased to announce that the 2016-2017 Scholarship Application is now available. We are proud to confirm that the division will be awarding ten scholarships with each valued at $2,500.
Since inception of the program, scholarships have been awarded to 117 academic scholars totaling $258,500. We endeavor to support our members in educating their children and preparing them for the future world economy. We are proud of this program and encourage your children to participate. All qualified persons should apply!
The scholarship applicants must be children of individuals with 2015 and 2016 membership in FIA Operations Americas Division.
This year as in the past, Scholarship Management Services will determine the recipients of the awards. The program utilized in the selection by Scholarship Management Services is described in the attachment found below, along with the application. In no instance does any officer or member of the FIA Operations Americas Division play a part in the selection process. We have extended the deadline for submission to May 31, 2016. The recipients selected will be notified by Scholarship Management Services by mid-July.
The scholarship program is just one of the benefits of division membership and is funded through your attendance at numerous events throughout the year; most notably, the annual golf outings held in New York and Chicago.
Save the dates for the 2016 golf outings:
- New York – Monday, June 27th at Richmond Country Club, Staten Island
- Chicago – Monday, September 26th at Arrowhead Golf Club, Wheaton
