FMA Foundation - College Scholarships

Since 1990, the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association Foundation has awarded scholarships annually to students in courses of study that may lead to careers in manufacturing. The scholarships are a member benefit of FMA and its technology affiliate, the Tube & Pipe Association, International (TPA)and the Outside Processors Council (OPC). Because manufacturing engineers, management, and skilled tradespeople are such an important part of the work force, the FMA Foundation's board of directors seeks to encourage talented students to pursue careers in manufacturing fields.

the employee of a member company; or
the child of a member company's employee.

College scholarships for non-members are $2,500 per school year and college scholarships for members are $5,000 per school year. Trade school scholarships up to $2,000 per school year require membership.
