InfoComm International, a Fairfax trade association for audiovisual and information communications professionals, is offering students who are studying for a career in the audiovisual field a chance to win scholarships.

The International Communications Industries Foundation, InfoComm’s non-profit foundation, awards scholarships to college students in good standing and majoring in fields such as audio, video, telecommunications, electronics, technical theater, data networking, software development and information technology. ICIF was established because of a growing need for a well-trained workforce.

According to a press release, “Audiovisual professionals create amazing feats every day, designing broadcast studios, outfitting command and control centers, and staging major events and concerts — to name just a few AV career paths.”

Although NOVA is not a member of the organization, scholarships worth $1,200 each are available to its students and applicable toward tuition only. Students must have a grade point average of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale and provide current college transcripts. Interested students must fill out an application and write two essays.

Visit InfoComm.org/scholarships for the scholarship application. The deadline to apply is May 14.
