The Federal Managers Association (FMA) joined FEEA’s Board of Directors in 1993. In the years since, FEEA and FMA have forged a partnership that continues to benefit both organizations.

FMA provides FEEA with an organized network of federal managers who help publicize FEEA’s programs by referring employees to our Emergency Assistance loans and grants, reminding them when it’s scholarship time, and helping FEEA get the word out during the Combined Federal Campaign.

In 1994 FMA decided to launch its own scholarship program, open to members and their dependent family. Rather than reinvent the wheel, FMA asked FEEA to administer the program, in conjunction with FEEA’s own scholarship contest. FMA members, or their children, now fill out a special FMA version of FEEA’s scholarship application and are effectively entered in both the FMA and FEEA contests with just one application. This year, for the first time, FMA members' grandchildren are also eligible to apply for an FMA Scholarship.

The number of $1,000 FMA scholarships awarded each year depends upon donations from members at FMA’s Annual and Mid-Year Conferences. Donations may also be made online at www.feea.org. Click on the "Give Online" button, and then be sure to choose "FMA Scholarships" from the "Program Area" menu. FMA also awards two special distinction scholarships each year, the $1,500 Frances Webb Scholarship and the Brad Casas Memorial Scholarship.

FMA’s CDC-based chapter 322 hosts an annual golf tournament to raise scholarship funds devoted specifically to CDC applicants, raising as much as $4,000 for the program.

FYI: The Federal Employee Education & Assistance Fund's CFC number is 1-1-1-8-5. Last year, all participating CFC charities – local, national and international – were given new 5-digit identification codes. FEEA’s new number – 11185 – is the one to use when making a pledge.

Team FMA is an important part of the FEEA family and an advocate for federal managers everywhere. We are proud of the great work that FEEA does on behalf of federal employees.
