The Scholarship Fund of the National Office Products Alliance (NOPA) is pleased to announce that 45 college students are the proud recipients of a one-year scholarship for the 2018-2019 academic year. 

Chaired by IOPFDA Board Member, Skip Ireland, President of COS Business Products & Interiors, the IOPFDA Scholarship Committee, which awards the scholarships, was pleased to award $24,000 to students in the U.S.

"IOPFDA is once again very proud to announce our scholarship recipients for 2018 -2019 school year. We are very pleased to help so many deserving students, who represent a cross section of our industry, made up of Independent Dealers, Wholesalers and Manufacturers. Helping others succeed has always been a cornerstone of IOPFDA and nowhere is it more evident than in these awards," said Ireland.
