Midwest Roofing Contractors Association Foundation Awards Scholarships

GLENVIEW, Ill. -- The Midwest Roofing Contractors Association Foundation recently awarded scholarships worth $24,500 to 35 recipients for the 2012-2013 school year. A nonprofit organization established by the Midwest Roofing Contractors Association (MRCA), has raised awareness and improved the roofing industry by supporting educational and professional development programs, supporting industry research, and funding scholarships to those pursuing a degree in Construction Management or related field.
