Head over to our Students page and share this opportunity with any prospective industry members! We will be taking applications through Friday, April 25th for scholarship awards to cover expenses accrued during the 2024-45 school year. We have contacted a few local schools but if there are any groups that could use the opportunity please email Mo-Kan with any suggestions.

Scholarship recipients will be announced during the May meeting and those students will be encouraged to attend our meeting in person to start meeting their future colleagues.

If you have already applied we will be sending an email shortly re-confirming your application and there is no need to re-apply. Thank you for reaching out.
