Tri-Ed Distribution is pleased to announce that it will be offering three college scholarships for the 2010-2011 academic year. Tri-Ed’s scholarship program is open to any graduating high school senior who is a child of a current NBFAA member.

The $1,500, $1,000 and $500 scholarships will be awarded on the basis of academic merit. To be considered, applicants are required to provide:

• A copy of their high school transcript, including college entrance exam scores (SAT or ACT).
• A copy of their college application essay.
• A letter of recommendation from their high school guidance counselor or high school teacher of their choice.
• A list of the colleges to which they are applying.
• NBFAA member name and company.

The deadline for completed applications is January 31, 2010. All applications are being accepted via e-mail at marketing@tri-ed.com.

Names of the three winning students will be announced at the Tri-Ed booth during ISC West 2010. All winners will also be notified in writing.

Scholarship award checks will be made payable to the college or university the winners will be attending – upon their acceptance – and will be used solely for tuition.

Tri-Ed is a strong advocate of industry causes and this scholarship program is indicative of its commitment to supporting the industry’s largest association – the National Burglar & Fire Alarm Association – and its members.

“Tri-Ed is pleased to help ease some of the financial burdens of higher education for three deserving scholarship winners and their families,” says Pat Comunale, COO.
