Students taking at least 12 credits during the 2013-14 academic year will be able to apply for a $1,000 scholarship, while those taking six to 11 credits can apply for a $500 scholarship. The purpose of the Milwaukee/NARI Foundation Scholarship is to assist students who are residents of and plan to attend a southeastern Wisconsin institution, pursuing higher education in the remodeling industry – including associated mechanical, technical, and creative sectors. The schools must be located in Dodge, Jefferson, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington or Waukesha counties. "We plan to award up to 10 scholarships to those most deserving," said Greg Adamec, Milwaukee/NARI Foundation president. "While a student's grade-point average and class rank will provide a point of reference for evaluating applicants, an emphasis will be placed on the student's demonstration of work ethic, motivation, dedication, follow through, and creativity ." "One of the objectives of the Milwaukee/NARI Foundation is to create a steady supply of qualified individuals to engage in remodeling as a career," Adamec said. "We want the scholarship to serve as a means to enhance career opportunities in the home improvement and remodeling industries for future generations." Completed applications, which can be accessed at www.milwaukeenarifoundation.org, along with an essay, letters of recommendations and college or post secondary acceptance letter, are due to the Milwaukee/NARI Foundation, P.O.
