IMA SCHOLARSHIP TRUST FUND
by theima
On behalf of the IMA Scholarship Trust Fund Trustees, I am pleased to report that the IMA was able to award ten scholarships over this past year, totaling over $6,5000.00.
The IMA was able to grow the Scholarship Trust Fund thanks to generous donations from our members and as part of the 2022 Fall Virtual Symposium. One hundred percent of the $5,000 raised during the Symposium was donated to the Scholarship Trust Fund. This amount will be reflected in the Q1 2023 Financial Statement
The IMA and the Scholarship Trustees wish to thank all corporate sponsors and individual donors for your generous contributions supporting the next generation of property assessment professionals. You can learn more about the IMA Scholarship Trust Fund and available scholarships here
Over the past few years, the Scholarship Trustees and IMA Board of Directors have been working to review and restructure the awards to ensure fair and equal access to all IMA members and candidates regardless of geography or their path to designation. Last year, we updated the criteria for the prestigious W.J. Lettner Memorial Award. This year, we were able to introduce a new award category - the Larry K. Hummel Award. This new award recognizes two exemplary and deserving members each year:
• M I M A Category ($500): Awarded to the M I M A Accredited member with the highest Fast Track Designation Program (FTDP) composite exam mark (with a minimum of 3 courses)
• A.I.M.A Category ($500): Awarded to the A.I.M.A Designated member with the highest FTDP composite exam mark (with a minimum of 3 courses)
Congratulations to all 2022-23 scholarship award winners (photographed below)! I want to acknowledge and thank my fellow Trustees and the IMA office team for your time and dedication over the past year
