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 an exclusive member benefit of FMA and its technology affiliate, the Tube & Pipe Association, International (TPA). 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.

Eligibility - To apply, you must be:

A full-time student with a minimum GPA of 3.0, enrolled in an engineering or manufacturing-related course of study that may lead to a career in manufacturing; and
a member of FMA or TPA; or
the child of a member; or
the employee of a member company; or
the child of a member company's employee.

*Membership must have begun by January 1 of the award year. (To verify your membership status, please call FMA and TPA customer service at 815-399-8775).

To apply, you must submit a completed application form and requested transcripts by the application deadline. Download full eligibility guidelines and applications at the FMA Foundation Web Site:
