Division News

FIA Chicago Division Members,

The FIA Chicago Division is proud to announce that the 2012-2013 Scholarship Applications are now available. We are pleased to announce that we have increased the number of scholarships to be awarded from four to five and have maintained the value of the scholarship at $2500.

The FIA Chicago Division began its scholarship program in 2000 and has awarded $46,000 in scholarships to 22 academic scholars. The number of applicants has ranged from 10 to 27 in the past. We endeavor to support our members in educating their children and preparing them for the future world economy. We are very proud of this program and hope your children will participate. All qualified persons should apply!

The scholarship applicants must be children of individuals with a minimum of one year's membership as of the end of fiscal year (December 2011) preceding the award year and continuing in good standing at eligibility verification date. It should also be noted that children of eligible Futures Industry Association Chicago Division members who are also members of the Futures Services Division of the Futures Industry Association, may apply to both the FIA Chicago Division Scholarship Program and the Futures Services Division Scholarship Program. Children eligible for both programs may receive only one award in a given year.

This year as in the past, Scholarship Management Services will determine the recipients for this year. The program utilized in the selection by Scholarship Management Services is described in the attachment found below, along with the application. In no instance does any officer or member of the FIA Chicago Division play a part in the selection process. This year, the deadline for submission is May 15, 2012. We felt that this will give our children sufficient time to gather the information needed. The recipients selected will be notified by Scholarship Management Services by early July.

If you have any questions please contact Scholarship Management Services at the number listed on the application or contact Mary Beth Rooney at 312-516-6017.
