The Scholars Award
Sponsored by Interplastic Corporation
Summary
Interplastic Corporation is sponsoring five $2,000 scholarships in cooperation with the American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA). They are another valuable benefit of ACMA membership and are given in recognition of the important role the ACMA plays in our industry.
Scholarship
Five Scholars will be selected annually in April. The funds are a one-time gift of $2,000 each and must be used for tuition and/or required books, supplies and equipment.
Eligibility Requirements
The scholarships are for graduating high school seniors planning to pursue a degree at an accredited four-year college or university. To be eligible, a ACMA or ICPA member company must employ the applicant's parent or legal guardian or the applicant. Interplastic Corporation employees and their dependents are not eligible for the Scholars Awards.
Selection Criteria
The selection of the Scholars is based on all facts and circumstances, with special emphasis placed on the individuals personal merit and background. Merit is demonstrated in a variety of ways; academic achievement; leadership in school; civic and other extracurricular activities; motivation to serve and succeed in all endeavors.
Selection Committee
The selection committee will be comprised of ACMA staff, ACMA members, academia and Interplastic Corporation staff. All deliberations of the committee will be confidential.
