In 2007, NASIMCO established a scholarship scheme called the "Community Service and Academic Achievement Awards".  The objective of the scholarships is to encourage the youths of the North American communities to excel in their academic achievements and to reward them for their voluntary services to their communities. Under this scheme, five scholarships were offered this year. The response to this scheme was overwhelming from the youths of North America.

SPONSORS:
In view of the success and interest in the project, NASIMCO intends to continue providing these scholarships annually and enhancing it by increasing the number of awards. To achieve this objective we need funds and are soliciting sponsors for the scholarships.  Scholarships can be named in memory of the loved ones of the sponsors.  We have set the minimum amount of $1,000 for each sponsorship. The number of scholarships awarded will depend on the number of sponsors. 

If you require more information on the scheme or are interested in sponsoring a scholarship for 2009-2010, please contact the NASIMCO secretariat at: info@nasimco.org
