“Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.”

Application Deadline: March 15th

Each year the MAIA Scholarship Committee awards one $1,000 scholarship to an entering freshman or upper-class student who shows superior academic achievement and exhibits a financial need. The scholarship recipient is selected from applicants who are sons and daughters of active, retired, or deceased building department personnel of a municipal government that is an active member of MAIA.

The scholarship is awarded in an effort to minimize educational expenses to an academically deserving student. The scholarship is given in honor of Mr. Guy Luck. All applications must be received by the MAIA Scholarship Committee, along with an up-to-date scholastic record and a copy of the applicant’s ACT or SAT scores, prior to March 15th. Applications are available by calling the MAIA Executive Secretary (770) 469-6271 or write: Pat Wheeler, Secretary; Metro Atlanta Inspectors Association; P.O. Box 1779; Stone Mountain, GA 30086-1779, or on the MAIA web site: Maia-ga.org.
