MARLBOROUGH The Massachusetts Association of Vocational Administrators (MAVA) is pleased to announce that the association recently heard a presentation from the SkillsUSA Massachusetts State Executive Council regarding the Council’s recent trip to Washington, D.C.
The Council of Fellows scholarship program was founded in 2004 to:
aid outstanding students who would not otherwise have an opportunity to continue a professional degree program due to unmet financial need;
increase the interest and participation of economically disadvantaged and under-represented populations in the study of landscape architecture; and
enrich the profession of landscape architecture through a more diverse population.
Since the scholarship program’s inception, the Council has awarded forty students from over twenty programs across the country. The students have had the opportunity to attend the annual conference where they have networked with members, attended education sessions and special events such as the award ceremonies and the investiture dinner. The students regularly attend the Fellows business meeting where they receive their certificates.
