Students: Test Your Design Skills to Win a $1,000 Scholarship!

Ready to rise to the challenge?

PMA has launched a scholarship program, “Surprisingly Versatile Design Competition,” for students enrolled in material sciences, design and engineering programs at technical schools and universities across the nation. The competition will offer three students a chance to win $1,000 based on their ability to exhibit the best use of cast polyurethane to replace a part traditionally made from plastic, rubber or metal. Parts will be judged on the utility of the part in its actual application. Winners will show their work during an expense-paid trip to the PMA Annual Meeting and Supplier Showcase in Las Vegas, Nev.

Some important deadlines:
Project papers must be submitted by January 15, 2010 via the PMA website or email.

Winners will be notified by March 11, 2010.

Scholarships will be given at the PMA’s 2010 Annual Meeting, May 8-11, at Harrah’s Casino, Las Vegas.
