Educators can make a positive impact for students and their schools by hosting summer manufacturing camps that create unique experiences for future workers. By serving as a camp host, educators can: • Educate and inform students, families, and businesses in their communities • Enhance their reputation with local industry • Demonstrate the value of manufacturing programs to area schools • Help fill the skilled labor gap in their hometowns Twice each year, for the fall and spring semesters, FMA’s Foundation awards scholarships to students en- rolled in certification, skills training, or degree programs that lead to careers in manufacturing. To be considered for a scholarship award, students must be pursuing a degree or certification in one of the approved fields of study leading to a career in manufac- turing. Only full-time students or part-time students, who are also working, who are currently enrolled or plan to enroll should apply. To qualify, students must have a min- imum GPA of 2.5 for those attending trade, community or technical colleges and a 3.0 for those who are attending universities. Application review and scholarship award dedicions take place in November for spring terms and in May for fall terms. For more information, visit pmmifoundation.org .
