     *   Application(s): http://www.diecasting.org/scholarship
     *
The program provides scholarships to college students that have interned with die casting companies/companies that are suppliers to the die casting industry. Last year, 23 students from across North America qualified for these prestigious awards, and were awarded with a combined scholarship of over $44,000!
Additionally, graduate engineering students may be interested in learning about the Steven J. Harmon Scholarship.

  *   FEF Internship/Co-op Scholarship
     *   Deadline: October 1st
     *   Application: http://fefinc.org/employment/internship-co-op-scholarship.html
     *   Many employers are more inclined to hire students that not only have good grades, but have some work experience. This scholarship directly focuses on those students that have taken the initiative to participate in an internship or co-op to further their knowledge of the casting industry. These on-the-job experiences give the student a hands-on perspective of the casting industry. The goal of this scholarship to reward the work experience gained in the industry with a focus on project work, lessons learned, and leadership development.


  *   Other FEF Scholarships
     *   For a full list of current FEF scholarships, please click here http://fefinc.org/scholarships.html and apply!!

See you Tuesday!

Best,
