Coatings Industry Education Foundation.The future of any industry lies in the appropriate education of young talent, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The Coatings Industry Education Foundation (CIEF CIEF Conseil International d'Études Francophones (Council of International Francophone Studies; Lafayette, LA) CIEF Capillary Isoelectric Focusing CIEF Carrier Independent Exchange Facility ) fosters this educational process for the coatings industry by raising funds and providing scholarships, fellowships, and grants to institutions of higher learning higher learning n. Education or academic accomplishment at the college or university level. . This program not only benefits students and colleges or universities with a coatings curriculum, but it helps to sustain the long-term health of the coatings industry. The objectives of CIEF are to further--through education and research--the knowledge and application of the chemical, physical, and mathematical sciences relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc the technology of protective coatings and to aid in the public dissemination dissemination Medtalk The spread of a pernicious process–eg, CA, acute infection Oncology Metastasis, see there of the results of such education and research through scientific publications and lectures. Project Tomorrow One of the most ambitious initiatives of the Coatings Industry Education Foundation is "Project Tomorrow," a funding program instituted in 1995 to support coatings education. The first participant in this initiative, Grace Davison, has presented CIEF with a $5,000 donation each year since 1995. These donations were made to assist the CIEF in supporting "the academic education of current and potential coatings scientists and technologists and the university programs that are active in coatings education and research." Through "Project Tomorrow," CIEF promotes and publicizes the benefits of educating and training students before they enter the industry in programs such as those offered at CIEF-supported "coatings schools." CIEF trustee evaluations have indicated that the students in these programs "are taught how to provide appropriate solutions to challenging situations, within the context of the coatings industry, i.e., from the perspective of suppliers, manufacturers, and users. When these young people enter the workforce, they do so with their eyes open; they know coatings and enjoy the challenges of working with them." The CIEF invites the industry to invest in the future through participation in "Project Tomorrow." Such support is tax-deductible and participants will be acknowledged in all appropriate articles and press releases associated with the work of CIEF. Support categories and the current partipants are noted in the "Project Tomorrow Honor Roll honor roll n. A list of names of people worthy of honor, especially: a. A list of students who have earned high grades during a specified period. b. A list of people who have served in the armed forces. ."

Funding for Coatings-Related Educational Institutions To determine annual funding, the CIEF trustees review requests for fellowships, scholarships, research grants, and capital grants from institutions of higher education higher education Study beyond the level of secondary education. Institutions of higher education include not only colleges and universities but also professional schools in such fields as law, theology, medicine, business, music, and art. which are actively engaged in offering--or creating--a coatings program as part of their curriculum. Such requests must be submitted in writing to the CIEF Board of Trustees board of trustees Politics The posse of thugs who oversee an institution's administration. See Board of directors. in the summer of each year by a deadline which is announced annually. The funding requests must include at least the following information: * Nature and scope of the college or university's current or planned coatings program; * Type of students--for example, undergraduate, graduate, full- or part-time, etc.; * Faculty credentials and teaching resources, e.g., laboratory and equipment; * Targeted uses for CIEF support--for example, undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, research, and/or capital grants, and the dollar amounts requested, etc.; * The selection criteria used in choosing recipients of scholarships and fellowships; * Methods that will be employed for verifying the usefulness and effectiveness of the supported programs; * Current employers of coating program graduates for the three previous academic years; * Availability and amount of coatings program scholarships, fellowships, and grants provided by other sources. After weighing all of this information and seeking any additional input which is necessary to arrive at a balanced decision, the Board of Trustees announces a decision to fund, partially fund, or decline the various proposals which it has received. These decisions reflect not only the quality of the proposals but also the anticipated value of the proposed program, given the current CIEF funding capability. Requests for the academic year 2005-2006 must be received by the Trustees no later than September 1, 2004, and should be submitted to the President of the CIEF, c/o Robert F. Ziegler, Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology, 492 Norristown Road, Blue Bell, PA 19422-2350. All properly documented requests will be considered and a disposition sent to the originator by March 15, 2005. In addition, the Coatings Industry Education Foundation administers the Joseph A. Vasta Memorial Scholarship in Coatings Science, the CIEF/Trigg Scholarships, and the Coatings Industry Honor and Remembrance Fund. (See related article on page 28.) [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] In mid-1992 the Coatings Industry Education Foundation (CIEF) announced the establish-ment of the Coatings Industry Honor and Remembrance Fund. The concept of an Honor and Remembrance Fund was new to our industry and was first suggested by 1993 FSCT President Colin Penny, who thought that many of us would like to honor friends, spouses, respected colleagues, and employees in a public and substantive way. Colin also felt that by establishing a fund dedicated specifically to honoring and remembering such special people, the CIEF was creating a meaningful and lasting tribute to them. The Trustees of CIEF, who administer the Honor and Remembrance Fund, plan to use the earnings from the principal of this fund for educational assistance in the form of scholarships, fellowships and grants to colleges and universities active in coatings education. Thus, donors to this fund will realize both the satisfaction of memorializing a special person and the gratification GRATIFICATION. A reward given voluntarily for some service or benefit rendered, without being requested so to do, either expressly or by implication. of knowing that their gift will be used to help educate those who will carry on the tradition of scientific and technological excellence in the coating industry. By recognizing gifts to the Honor and Remembrance Fund in the Journal of Coatings Technology, it is the Trustees' intent to give international recognition to both the donors and the honorees, as well as to focus on the educational benefits being derived from such gifts. This is a venture which will enable every individual, corporation, and society associated with the coatings industry to really "make a difference," by recognizing specific individuals' contributions to our industry, while furthering the educational efforts of the cief. Gifts in any amount (made payable to "cief--Honor and Remembrance Fund," and sent to the Federation office) will be recognized annually in the Journal of Coatings Technology, under the following five categories: * Gifts up to $249 * Gifts from $250-$499 * Gifts from $500-$999 * Gifts from $1,000-$9,999 * Gifts of $10,000 and greater All gifts to the Honor and Remembrance Fund will be tax deductible That which may be taken away or subtracted. In taxation, an item that may be subtracted from gross income or adjusted gross income in determining taxable income (e.g., interest expenses, charitable contributions, certain taxes). to the extent that the law allows, and may be made as a direct gift to the Fund, as a gift in honor of a living person, or as a gift in remembrance of one who is deceased.
