BIA College Scholarship Applications Available

The Building Industry Association of Clark County (BIA) and their charitable subsidiary, the Building Futures Foundation, will award students with $1,000 scholarships to aid them in their academic pursuits.

The application process is open to students who are pursuing study in a field that enhances their education and benefits the building trades. Such fields may include construction management, law, design, journalism, city planning, real estate, land development, forestry, banking, insurance, lending, political affairs, project management, architecture, engineering, business, association management or other building related studies.

To be eligible for the scholarship students must also be accepted or currently enrolled at an accredited two-year community or four-year college or university for the 2009-2010 academic year.

The objective of the BIA Scholarship Program is to collect and distribute funds that will aid in the education and development of future industry leaders. Since 1996, building professionals have come together to support high school, undergraduate and graduate students seeking degrees in an industry related field of study. The Scholarship Program is dependent upon the proceeds of the BIA Scholarship Golf Tournament at Cedars on Salmon Creek on April 24.

Area high school students can find applications at their schools’ career center or counselor’s office. Applications are available online at www.biaofclarkcounty.org under the programs link or by contacting the BIA at 694-0933 or e-mailing jmeade@biaofclarkcounty.org. All applications must be received by April 15th.
