EURICH MICHIGAN MOVERS ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP

TO A UNITED STATES DOMICILED ACCREDITED COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY
FOR MEMBER COMPANY EMPLOYEES AND THEIR DEPENDENTS

Drivers, dock workers, mechanics, office personnel and other dedicated moving industry employees are among the thousands of people each day who contribute to a strong, efficient moving industry in Michigan.

Many of these workers are or have dependents who are pursuing studies toward a higher education. The Eurich Michigan Movers Academic Scholarship Fund (EMMA-ASF) would like to help some of these students in their efforts by providing financial aid to Michigan Movers Association (MMA) member company employees or their dependents.

Scholarships ranging from $500 to $1,500 may be awarded. Recipients will be selected based on their academic achievement, community involvement and their letter of intent. The Fund will provide financial assistance for college and trade school students. These funds may be used to meet such expenses as tuition, books, and housing.

The Eurich Michigan Movers Academic Scholarship (EMMA-ASF) is funded by MMA financial reserves, consisting of dues and other financial resources as received from member movers for membership and other related activities. The ASF has been specifically structured to support higher education among moving family members who are part of the MMA.

ELIGIBILITY

Applicants must be high school seniors or current college or vocational students. They must be an owner, employee or a dependent of someone employed by a company with membership in the Michigan Movers Association. Scholarships are available to all MMA member movers.

APPLICATION

A student seeking a scholarship should complete the application form, along with a recent photograph, a certified copy of their transcript (last mid-term is acceptable), three letters of recommendation and an accompanying letter of intent.

VOCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

VOCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP – DIESEL MECHANICS & TRUCK DRIVERS 

MECHANICS

Diesel mechanic training is a two-year program at most vocational schools with the year divided into four quarters and the month of September being vacation time. Eligible students must have completed high school or the GED equivalent, or be enrolled in a vocational school.

If the scholarship candidate is already enrolled in a vocational school, the candidate should ask the school to provide the EMMA-ASF Committee with a list that includes vocational achievements, class attendance, and professional aptitude and citizenship ratings. The Committee will award Vocational scholarships based on that criteria plus financial need.

TRUCK DRIVERS

There are several truck driving schools in the region and each class is approximately six months long. If the candidate is already enrolled, please ask your school to provide the EMMA-ASF Committee with a statement of progress to date.
