WMA Scholarship Program Raises Interest in Manufacturing Industry

The Wichita Manufacturers Association promotes and encourages the general welfare of the manufacturing industry.  The WMA is encouraging students to pursue manufacturing careers by offering two $1,000 scholarship to students planning to study manufacturing at any technical college, community college or state college/university in Wichita.

The WMA created the scholarship program to support the educational and training opportunities that develop better manufacturing interest, methods and employees.  The scholarships are funded by the generosity of WMA members as well as individual and commercial donations.  

For the 2007-2008 school year, a $1,000 scholarship was awarded to Jarred Chalmers studying welding at Wichita Area Technical College. A second $1,000 scholarship was awarded to Tu Tran studying mechanical engineering at Wichita Area Technical College.
