RAPAPORT... The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) will offer $2
million in scholarship funds to aspiring students in 2019, it said Wednesday.
Students interested
in its gemology and jewelry-manufacturing arts programs, distance-education
course and lab classes can apply for funding.
“Scholarships are a very important part of our
mission-driven education programs, helping hundreds of students start or
advance their careers in the global gem and jewelry industry every year,” said GIA
vice president and chief academic officer Duncan Pay. “With scholarships,
professional credentials, career services and an alumni network, GIA students
are positioned for success.”
The GIA has awarded more than $10 million in scholarships
over the past nine years, funded by the GIA Endowment Fund, as well as private
donors. The application period will run from February 1 to March 31.
