Wire & Cable ASIA – November/December 2008 11
The International Wire and Machinery
Association (IWMA) funds an
Educational Trust Scheme that
amongst other things offers the Walter
Niehoff Scholarship, in memory of one
of the past presidents of the
association. The scholarship provides
a financial award every two years of up
to $24,000 to be paid to an institute,
training organisation, university, college
or similar establishment for the benefit
of an individual trainee, student or
apprentice engaged in study, research
or training activities related to the
wire, cable or wire product industries.
Awards can also be made to industry
institutions or establishments that offer
training in the wire and cable sector.
The IWMA is now in a position to make
a further award of a Walter Niehoff
Scholarship under this scheme for
2008/2009 and invites applications.
Applicants may be employed by a
company or be students, apprentices,
individuals at colleges, institutions,
universities or other places of research
and learning who are introduced by an
IWMA member and are committed to
the study and future employment in
the field of engineering applicable to
the wire, cable or wire product
industries.
The IWMA considers that a primary
function is to promote new technology,
education and growth in the industry.
Its conferences and educational
seminars provide an international
forum for the exchange of technology,
regular focused meeting places for the
industry and excellent reference
sources from its library of past papers.
The Educational Trust offers another
very important educational route.
Through both the IWMA’s Educational
Trust Fund and its Travel Award
scheme the association actively
encourages the gaining of new skills
and experience for future rising stars
in the industry.
