The CREST Foundation, a reprographics industry charitable organization that funds and awards scholarships to children of reprographics industry employees, will announce the 10 recipients of its first scholarship awards later this month. In total, the awards from the Foundation amount to $100,000.
 The CREST Foundation, which earlier this year, received more than 50 applications for the 2008/2009 academic year. The applications represent the children of employees from firms belonging to the IRgA, as well as the WRA, CRA, ERRA/SRA, ReproMax, PEiR Group and RSA.
Applicants were ranked and scored based on academic achievements, financial need, extra awards, honors, work, relevant experiences, a personal essay and references.
CREST Foundation (Children of Reprographics Employees Scholarship Trust) awards are funded by the generous donations of individuals, reprographic companies, industry vendors and financial institutions. This year’s recipients were chosen by the CREST Foundation’s Selection Committee whose members include industry veterans Bill Thomas, Mike Carter, Cathleen Cushing Duff, John Deermount and Miguel Garcia.
Announcements for the 2009/2010 application process will be made in January 2009.
