(PRESS RELEASE) The National Association of Jewelry Appraisers announces that it will award an ACE It Appraisal Conference Scholarship to a deserving gemology student. NAJA invites GIA, FGA, FGAA, FGG, FCGmA, RGA students to apply for this scholarship for the 51st Annual ACE It Winter Educational Conference scheduled on Feb. 3-4, 2019, in Tucson, AZ.
This opportunity gives the gemology student a firsthand experience of networking with appraisal professionals by attending the highly regarded NAJA educational experience during a time when Tucson devotes itself to gems, jewelry and minerals. The scholarship, which covers the conference fee only, requires a resume, photo and an essay explaining the reason why the gemology student would choose to become a gems and jewelry appraiser. NAJA believes that becoming a gems and jewelry professional appraiser is a viable career option for gemological students.
Applications can be obtained through the NAJA website, najaappraisers.com/ScholarshipApp2018.pdf. Deadline for submission is Nov. 1, 2018, and the final selection by the NAJA Scholarship Advisory Board will be announced Dec. 1, 2018.
