“As in years past, the scholarship committee is proud to be able to help so many deserving students this year with scholarshipsthat will assist them in following their dreams," Ireland said. "We wish each student all the best and much success as they look to the future and build their paths to success.”

Employees and immediate family members of all National Office Products Alliance (NOPA) and Office Furniture Dealers Alliance (OFDA) member companies are eligible to apply for annual scholarships. Started more than 50 years ago with a $5,000 donation from Jennie Zachs, the founder of the C-Thru Ruler Company, the IOPFDA Scholarship Fund has given more than $2.5 million in scholarships to deserving families of office products and office furniture dealers. The fund is supported entirely through individual and member contributions.
