MCA Announces New Scholarship Program For Member Companies

Chicago, IL - The Metal Construction Association (MCA) has announced the creation of the new MCA Scholarship Program to benefit the employees of member companies.

This new program is exclusive to MCA members, their spouse, children and grandchildren. Scholarships will provide financial assistance to students pursuing higher education in any field. Students currently attending college or graduate school are also able to apply if they meet the established criteria. Recipients will be selected by a scholarship committee based on MCA member status, education transcripts, and a written essay, which will include the applicant’s goals and how the scholarship will assist them. Optional criteria include personal references and extracurricular activities.

“The program is a valuable benefit to employees of MCA member companies,” says Brian Partyka, Chair of MCA. “MCA is continually seeking out ways to engage with our members and we are looking forward to connecting in this new way.”
