The Tedric A. Harris Bearing Internship Scholarship is a scholarship program offered by the American Bearing Manufacturers Association (ABMA) Foundation. The scholarship is intended to support undergraduate or graduate students who are pursuing a career in the bearing industry.
The scholarship award is typically $5,000 and can be used to cover expenses related to a summer internship in the bearing industry. In addition to the financial award, scholarship recipients are also matched with a mentor from the bearing industry and are given the opportunity to attend the ABMA Annual Meeting to network and learn more about the industry.
The scholarship is named in honor of Tedric A. Harris, a leading expert in the field of tribology (the study of friction, wear, and lubrication of surfaces in motion) and a longtime supporter of the ABMA Foundation.
The application process for the Tedric A. Harris Bearing Internship Scholarship typically opens in the fall, and the deadline to apply is usually in the winter. Applicants are required to submit an application, official transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a personal statement.
