The Lakes Area Manufacturers Alliance is offering $1,000 scholarships to students enrolling in manufacturing program(s) to earn post-secondary certificates and degrees in manufacturing careers. Applications are due April 1, 2021. To apply or learn more, visit www.BridgesConnection.org/ManufScholar/, or contact Judy Richer, Bridges Career Academies Coordinator, at (218) 760-7838 or Judy@BridgesConnection.org.

 

This scholarship fund was established in 2017 by the Lakes Area Manufacturers Alliance (LAMA), in partnership with the Initiative Foundation, in response to a need identified by the Central Minnesota manufacturing business community. Manufacturers are experiencing a growth in the demand for employees with the knowledge and skills to work in a manufacturing environment. 

 

Businesses are still encouraged to donate to this on-going scholarship fund. To contribute, send your check payable to the Initiative Foundation with “Manufacturing Scholarship Fund” noted in the memo line to: Initiative Foundation, 405 1st St SE, Little Falls, MN 56345.
