The Deadline for 2008 David I. Coren Scholarship Applications is May 1, 2008
Students have until May 1, 2008 to submit their applications for the David I. Coren Memorial Scholarship Awards for the 2008-2009 academic year.
Established, sponsored and administered by the Electrical Generating Systems Association (EGSA), the David I. Coren Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to qualified students and is designed to have a positive impact on personnel shortages in our industry and is an excellent vehicle for enhancing awareness of the industry.
The Association hopes to award ten $2,000 scholarships for the 2008-2009 academic year. The competitive, merit-based scholarships are awarded to qualified students who plan on pursuing a career in the On-Site Power industry. In addition to their career focus, applicants must be full-time students, have a declared major related to On-Site Power, and maintain a minimum 2.8 GPA.
EGSA launched the David I. Coren Scholarship Program in 2002 to promote awareness of the On-Site Power Generation industry and to generate interest in On-Site Power careers. The move came in response to the growing need for skilled On-Site Power personnel. While the Association has an established and widely recognized On-Site Power School education program of its own, the Board of Directors noted the industry’s need for individuals with higher educations from a variety of applicable disciplines. Since its launch, the Program has distributed $86,000 to a total of 43 students.
Information detailing the David I. Coren Memorial Scholarship program—including a Scholarship Program Brochure and an Application Packet—is available at www.egsa.org. For additional information, individuals may contact George Rowley, EGSA Director of Education, by e-mail at G.Rowley@EGSA.org or by phone at 561-237-5557.
