The Maple Flooring Manufacturers Association (MFMA) is offering two annual $1,000 scholarships beginning in the fall of 2013. The scholarships can be used for secondary, advanced or trade school education in a wide variety of disciplines from forestry to architecture, athletics and more.
"The program was developed to encourage educational success in the fields related to our business. We appreciate and understand that it takes many trained professionals to make our industry run. The process of turning trees into high- end sports surfaces encompasses numerous skilled hands. And once the sports floors are installed, even more trained professionals use the floors in their careers. We want to support all levels of this process in their educational and career goals," said MFMA President Jon Isaacs in a statement.
Applicants must be recommended by an active MFMA member or a certified architect and will be considered based on academic performance and written essay responses. Applications will be reviewed by the MFMA Scholarship Committee and approved by the MFMA board of directors.
