Scholarship

The submission date for the Eurich Academic Scholarship is now closed. Applications are being reviewed and awardees will be announced soon.

The Vocational Scholarship was initiated primarily for the applicant looking to further their education in trades associated with the moving industry. Annual grants of $500 to $1,000 for vocational scholarships will be awarded by the EMMA-ASF to eligible owners, employee or a dependent of someone employed by a company with membership in the Michigan Movers Association.

Vocational Scholarship – Diesel Mechanics & Truck Drivers

Mechanics

Diesel mechanic training is a two-year program at most vocational schools with the year divided into four quarters and the month of September being vacation time. Eligible students must have completed high school or the GED equivalent, or be enrolled in a vocational school.

If the scholarship candidate is already enrolled in a vocational school, the candidate should ask the school to provide the EMMA-ASF Committee with a list that includes vocational achievements, class attendance, and professional aptitude and citizenship ratings. The Committee will award Vocational scholarships based on that criteria plus financial need.

Truck Drivers

There are several truck driving schools in the region and each class is approximately six months long. If the candidate is already enrolled, please ask your school to provide the EMMA-ASF Committee with a statement of progress to date.

A scholarship from the EMMA-ASF will be awarded in consideration of an applicant’s academic achievement, community involvement, and letter of intent. It is awarded for one year in an amount determined by the EMMA-ASF Committee. It is valid for the academic year it is awarded and cannot be held over without the approval of the EMMA-ASF Committee. Candidates may apply in subsequent years for additional funding.

Drivers, dock workers, mechanics, office personnel and other dedicated moving industry employees are among the thousands of people each day who contribute to a strong, efficient moving industry in Michigan.

Many of these workers are or have dependents who are pursuing studies toward a higher education. The Eurich Michigan Movers Academic Scholarship Fund (EMMA-ASF) provides financial assistance to Michigan Movers Association (MMA) member company employees or their dependents.

The Eurich Michigan Movers Academic Scholarship (EMMA-ASF) is funded by MMA financial reserves, consisting of dues and other financial resources as received from member movers for membership and other related activities. The ASF has been specifically structured to support higher education among moving family members who are part of the MMA. Applications are released in March, with scholarship awardees announced in early August.
