As just one example, we are pleased to report that ASM expanded its Scholarship Program to help address workforce and diversity needs. New in 2018, ASM now offers four trade school scholarships.

Also, in 2018, the traditional four-year college scholarships have been expanded to include two-year community college. These changes help to foster a robust and diverse workforce to ensure the success of our industry not only for our generation, but for generations to come.
While doing good to do well, the 2018 ASM Scholarships will allow Members who contribute to the Scholarship Program to show some “good faith efforts” in becoming part of the solution to develop a qualified and inclusive workforce. ASM remains committed to improving our industry, supporting our community, fostering better business relationships, and providing opportunities for all.
