Awarding Scholarships since 1953
FMDA has been awarding scholarships since 1953. More than $2.3 million has been given to many hundreds of recipients to help lighten the burden of the expense of education after high school.
Each award is $2,500. The amount of each scholarship has been increased from time to time to reflect the ever-rising costs of college vs. the dollars available from contributions to the Fund.
Although the Scholarship Fund began life within the structure of First Mar Div Association, we became our own “arm’s length” operation in 2008 with our own Board of Directors and FMDASF Bylaws.
Want to make a contribution to FMDA’s Scholarship Fund? Donate here. The more dollars we raise, the more scholarships we are able to award. Beyond a mission, our work is a calling.
