2023 Recipient Testimonials -

"As an accounting major whose degree path in not the traditional one to enter the construction field, it was validating for me to receive this scholarship. The CFMA clearly recognized my potential as a professional, and I know that this association looks at the bigger picture for how their scholarship money is helping to bring the best of all types of students into the industry. I used my scholarship to fully pay for a preparation course for my general contractor license exam that was not covered by my typical university financial aid. When thinking about the most meaningful scholarships I have received over the past three years, this one is at the top of the list."   – Taylor Dunagan
