"Each year, EMA helps deserving students fulfill their potential by awarding scholarships to top college-bound students from within the EMA /iDEA family", said Bo Andersen, EMA's president. "The scholarship program offers member companies an opportunity to provide the valuable benefit of educational and financial assistance for employees, children and spouses, and has proven to be one of the most far-reaching benefits offered to our membership."

The next round of scholarship competition is open to high-school seniors who will be entering college as freshmen in 2008 as well as undergraduates then attending a four-year college institution. Employees, children and spouses of EMA /iDEA regular & EMA associate member companies worldwide are eligible for EMA Scholarships. Employee applicants must have completed at least six months of full or part-time employment by March 3, 2008. A child or spouse of an employee is also eligible if the employee has completed at least six months of full-time employment by March 3, 2008. Scholarships are limited to colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.

The EMA Scholarship Committee judges applicants on a combination of academic achievement, financial need and future potential.

Scholarships are financed through the generous contributions of EMA member companies as well as individual members, and will be awarded in May, 2008. Scholarship recipients receive amounts up to $6,000 (depending on their current academic status). Awards are paid directly to the college where the student is enrolled.

Since its establishment in 1987, the EMA Scholarship Foundation has provided financial assistance totaling more than $1,000,000.00 to 200 students. Financial contributions to the Scholarship Foundation would be greatly appreciated at this time, since funding is acquired solely from the generosity of company and individual contributions.
