Be rewarded for your hard work and dedication, and test your knowledge in framing. Each year the PPFA awards the L. Thomas McKeon to deserving framers who have shown outstanding dedication and commitment to framing and the PPFA. The scholarship was created in 1997 by the PPFA board of directors as a way to honor the accomplishments of the former PPFA president.

The scholarship provides financial assistance to framers wishing to take the Certified Picture Framer exam in the form of one free sitting of the exam, either at a PPFA sponsored event or online, and a set of the PPFA Guidelines series of books, an invaluable study and reference resource. The scholarship has an estimated value of $425.

To qualify for the L. Thomas McKeon CPF scholarship an applicant must:


  • Have a minimum of one year of hands-on experience in retail or wholesale picture framing
  • Be a current PPFA member or an employee at a PPFA member shop
  • Have not taken the CPF exam before
  • Meet all deadlines for submission of application and supporting materials

Only one individual per PPFA member organization may be awarded a scholarship during any one calendar year. The application and supporting materials must be received by September 15 to be considered for the scholarship.

For complete details and an application visit the PPFA website HERE.
 
I hope all framers will take a moment and consider taking the CPF exam this year! It is a hard but GREAT experience and will push your knowledge, even if you are very experienced. Please take the time to apply for the scholarship!
