March 2023 15 IUEC SCHOLARSHIP FUND The IUEC recognizes the value of education and understands how higher education opens doors to endless opportunities for the children of IUEC members. We also understand that too often the cost of higher education can put many of these opportunities out of reach for so many. Recently, the IUEC took the first steps to help the children of IUEC members who through their hard work in school now have the opportunity to pursue their dreams through a degree in higher learning. The General Executive Board recently established the IUEC Scholarship Fund to encourage and support the pursuit of higher education. The IUEC Scholarship Fund is a trust fund established to promote the pursuit of higher education and to help ease the financial burden of higher education by providing scholarship benefits to dependents of IUEC members in the United States and Canada. The IUEC Scholarship Fund is now accepting applications for scholarships for the 2023/2024 academic year. The deadline for submitting applications is June 20, 2023. The application, which is found in this issue of the Elevator Constructor journal, must be mailed, with all required information, to the following address by June 20, 2023 (postmarked by this date): IUEC Scholarship Fund 7154 Columbia Gateway Drive Columbia, MD 21046-2132 A total of five $5,000 scholarships will be awarded.
