Inviting applications for funding

The International Wire and Machinery Association (IWMA) funds an Educational Trust Scheme that amongst other things offers the Walter Niehoff Scholarship, in memory of one of the past presidents of the association. The scholarship provides a financial award every two years of up to $24,000 to be paid to an institute, training organisation, university, college or similar establishment for the benefit of an individual trainee, student or apprentice engaged in study, research or training activities related to the wire, cable or wire product industries. Awards can also be made to industry institutions or establishments that offer training in the wire and cable sector. The IWMA is now in a position to make a further award of a Walter Niehoff Scholarship under this scheme for 2008/2009 and invites applications. Applicants may be employed by a company or be students, apprentices, individuals at colleges, institutions, universities or other places of research and learning who are introduced by an IWMA member and are committed to the study and future employment in the field of engineering applicable to the wire, cable or wire product industries.

The IWMA considers that a primary function is to promote new technology, education and growth in the industry. Its conferences and educational seminars provide an international forum for the exchange of technology, regular focused meeting places for the industry and excellent reference sources from its library of past papers. The Educational Trust offers another very important educational route.

Through both the IWMA’s Educational Trust Fund and its Travel Award scheme the association actively encourages the gaining of new skills and experience for future rising stars in the industry.
