The AFA Education Foundation (AFAEF), a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, brings educational opportunities into reach for individuals and their family members in the fence industry by providing scholarships to highly deserving candidates. Scholarships are funded through donations (individuals and companies, chapter donations, etc.) and proceeds from AFA Education Foundation fundraisers
(golf tournaments, drawings, etc.).
Scholarships are awarded each year at FENCETECH. Award recipients are chosen based on need and qualifications, and a total of 5 scholarships are available at $5,000.00 each.
Eligible applicants must either be employed in the fence industry or an immediate family member (i.e. wife/husband, child) of a current industry employee. Applicants must also have achieved a “B” grade point average or higher in the previous three years of schooling and have performed a minimum of 40 hours of community service. Applicants do not have to be members of the American Fence Association (AFA) to qualify.
