Scholarship

The 2010 IAM Scholarship Competition has ended as of February 26, 2010.  Applications will no longer be accepted.  The 2011 Scholarship Competition will begining in August 2010.

This scholarship competition is open to members of IAM and their children throughout the United States and Canada under the procedures and rules of eligibility.

A distinguished panel of academics will meet to select winners from among the many applicants in the 2010 IAM Scholarship Competition.  "The winners will be notified by mail," said IAM Safety and Health Department Director Michael J. Flynn whose department administers the popular program.  "The scholarships are a great opportunity for IAM parents and a great way for members themselves to continue their own education.

Beginning in August 2010, applications will be accepted for the 2011 Scholarship Competition. Applications will be available to seniors in high school and IAM members and may be downloaded and printed from this web page. Applications will not be accepted until August 2010. An application can also be obtained by mail from the IAM Scholarship Department after printing, completing and mailing the request form on this web page or in the 2010 Summer IAM Journal issue.

The IAM Scholarship Fund, which is used exclusively to make possible these awards, was established by the delegates to the 1960 IAM Grand Lodge Convention.

At the 2004 Grand Lodge convention, the delegates voted unanimously to name one of the scholarships after Roman A. Mayfield, a 55-year member of D.L. 751, now deceased. This will be given to one of the scholarship recipients who best represents the spirit of volunteerism and strong sense of service to their community that was the hallmark of Brother Mayfield.
