Perhaps the greatest investment parents can make for their child is in his or her education.

Such an investment is, undoubtedly, a huge one. But the Copier Dealers Association is offering assistance to Datamax employees and other CDA members.

The Association is now accepting applications for its annual CDA Scholarship Program. The deadline to register is May 10.

“This is a great opportunity for employees that’s unique to our industry,” Terri Hackmeyer, Datamax Human Resources, said. “My thought is, why not apply? Aren’t we always trying to help pay for college, any way we can?”

The CDA Scholarship Foundation has been awarding grants for qualifying children of the CDA membership since 2005. Organizers say that, since its inception, the program has been able to increase the amount awarded every year – this year being no exception.

The CDA Scholarship Foundation welcomes applications from member-employee children and will award meaningful scholarship grants that demonstrate a need for assistance through the Federal Government FAFSA Application.  

In addition, the CDA Scholarship Committee will select on Merit Candidate to receive the “Shields Family Merit Award,” given annually to the graduating high school senior who has a superior academic record and has demonstrated real interest in a business career.
