Chemical Coaters Association International Finishing Education Foundation Awards Scholarships
LAKEWOOD RANCH, FL – The Chemical Coaters Association International Finishing Education Foundation (CCAIFEF) announced scholarship recipients for this year. Since 1992, CCAI has awarded scholarship money from the CCAI Matt Heuertz Scholarship Fund to students enrolled in programs that could lead to a career in coatings and finishing. 2020 marks the first year the scholarships are being awarded through CCAI’s Finishing Education Foundation (CCAIFEF), a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization. The CCAIFEF Board of Directors reviewed applications from qualified students and determined the scholarship winners.
CCAIFEF awarded a total of $14,500 in scholarships to 10 deserving students. “As always, we received applications from an impressive group of students. What is particularly special about this year’s award winners is that in addition to pursuing studies in areas related to industrial finishing, they already have experience working in the industry through internships, co-ops or job shadowing,” said Sheila LaMothe, CCAIFEF’s Executive Director. “We are excited to follow the career paths of these students as they are the future of the finishing and coatings industry.”
