All applications for scholarships must be returned at the prescribed time in order to be eligible for consideration.

Scholarships will be granted for (1) year or two (2) consecutive semesters at a time. The student(s) who receives a scholarship will have to maintain his or her eligibility each year or semester period to continue to receive the scholarship. Each request for additional scholarship funds must be accompanied with the student’s last semester grades and next semester’s class schedule. It is the recipient’s responsibility to provide this information and the FICAP office will not send a request.

Scholarships will be paid directly to the school for tuition, books, and fees up to the amount of the annual award.

Scholarships are permanent grants for the year and need not to be repaid.

Should a scholarship student be asked to leave by his or her school supervisors for misconduct or because of failing grades before the semester is over, and if the policy of the school is not to return that part of the tuition which has not been used, then the scholarship student will not be eligible for any further consideration until he or she repays the balance of the unused tuition to the Association.

Scholarships may be granted each year to the same student based on criteria listed in No. 4 as long as the student is successfully progressing toward his/her educational objective, as a full-time student, not longer than five (5) years, and only as long as the student is a dependent of a *full-time employee and only as long as the employment of the parent continues with a producer or associate member company of FICAP. At the discretion of the committee, we may adjust your scholarship amount and/or eligibility, if you change your stated major/educational objective.

*Exception: Scholarships may continue if the parent(s) retires from the member company during the time of the scholarship.

A scholarship will be awarded annually to a student who meets the eligibility requirements listed above.

The annual scholarship amount is up to $5000.00. Students in their junior or senior year of college, and pursuing a career in the construction industry, are eligible for an increased amount of scholarship.
