The Wisconsin Chapter of the Chemical Coaters Association International (WICCAI) operates a scholarship program. This program distributes monetary awards to deserving college students who apply for and meet the criteria set forth by the chapter.  The primary purpose of this program is to award scholarships to students who intend to pursue studies in Chemistry, Engineering, Business or Environmental Studies that promote an interest and awareness of career opportunities in the finishing industry.

​

The Wisconsin chapter of CCAI will be awarding three named scholarships:

• The James F. Wright Memorial Scholarship

• The Dave J. Wright Memorial Scholarship

• The James (Jim) Steffes Memorial Scholarship

​

We will also be awarding several general scholarships. Last year’s scholarship awards ranged from $500 to $2,500.

​

The James Steffes Annual Golf Outing event serves as the primary fundraiser for our James F. Wright Scholarship program. It will take place on July 18, 2025.

​

This opportunity is open to those attending technical schools or college and people in the industry that are going back to school to advance their education.

The scholarship competition is open to:

• Only current residents of the state of Wisconsin or attending school in Wisconsin are eligible.

• Current Wisconsin CCAI Members, or on the recommendation of a current member.

• Family members or dependents of current Wisconsin CCAI Members.

  • If not a CCAI WI member or a dependent of current CCAI WI member, applicant must be enrolled in or studying finishing related fields including Chemistry, Environmental Studies, Business Administration, Engineering and supply chain.​

• Employees of companies that are current CCAI Corporate Members or current  members of CCAI Wisconsin End User Chapter Membership.

• Applicants without a CCAI WI member sponsor or employed by a member company will be considered if field of study is relevant to the mission of our organization.

​​

Applications are to be submitted by April 15th, 2025. The scholarship committee will review the applications and notify the winners by June 13th, 2025.

 

Recipients will be awarded the scholarship checks at the Golf Outing in July and are requested to attend.
