Conditions & Restrictions We acknowledge that one of our primary goals is education. We also acknowledge the need for qualified employees in the field of construction accounting and finance. These needs will largely be filled from graduating students of our area schools. We hope these scholarships will prove to be an investment in the field of construction in the Dallas/Fort Worth area by providing promising construction professionals with some financial assistance while completing their studies. The Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter of the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA) has established a Scholarship program to award Scholarships to qualified candidates. Previous recipients are eligible to re-apply in any semester that they qualify, but a new application must be submitted each time (limited to 2 awards). No scholarships will be granted for summer or abbreviated semesters.
