Allen Preble Scholarship FoundationIn 1999, the Midwest Chapter of the Commercial Finance Association, Sanwa Business Credit, friends and the family of Al Preble formed the Allen Preble Scholarship Foundation to commemorate Al's contribution to the industry as well as to the development of continuing education programs for industry professionals. Family and friends have continued to make contributions while the leadership of the Midwest Chapter of the CFA has supported the Foundation with donations and fundraising activities at their annual golf outing. To date, the Foundation has awarded over $67,500 in scholarships for post-high school study based on academic excellence and extracurricular activities. For the 2010-2011 school year, the Foundation will award two tuition scholarships of $2,500 each and two textbook awards of $500 each to student children of Midwest Chapter members. Eligible candidates are dependents of members of the Midwest Chapter of the CFA or employees whose organizations are members of the National CFA. Students may apply during their senior year of high school or during college. Scholarship recipients may re-apply in subsequent years.
