(IDEX Online) - The National Association of Jewelry Appraisers (NAJA) said it will award an ACE (C) It Appraisal Conference Scholarship to a deserving gemology student.
NAJA is inviting GIA, FGA, FGAA, FGG, FCGmA, RGA students to apply for the scholarship for the 51st Annual ACE (C) It Winter Educational Conference scheduled on February 3-4, 2019 in Tucson AZ.
"This opportunity gives the gemology student a firsthand experience of networking with appraisal professionals by attending the highly regarded NAJA educational experience during a time when Tucson devotes itself to gems, jewelry, and minerals. The scholarship, which covers the conference fee only, requires a resume, photo and an essay explaining the reason why the gemology student would choose to become a gems and jewelry appraiser. NAJA believes that becoming a gems and jewelry professional appraiser is a viable career option for gemological students."
Applications can be obtained through the NAJA website, http://najaappraisers.com/ScholarshipApp2018.pdf. Deadline for submission is November 1, and the final selection by the NAJA Scholarship Advisory Board will be announced December 1.
