Announcement Letter

January 25, 2010

Dear CETA Members,

The CETA Education Foundation proudly announces the availability of scholarship applications for the school year of 2010 - 2011. It is our intention to offer six (6) scholarships to CETA Members in good standing, their employees and their families.

Two scholarships will be awarded in each of the following eligible membership classes:

Manufacturers, Suppliers and Distributors. In the event a qualified applicant is not indentified in one of these classes, the Trustees will award the scholarship(s) to the next highest ranking applicant, regardless of his or her membership class. In an effort to maximize scholarship distribution among the CETA membership, the Trustees may, at their discretion, award the “At Large” scholarship(s) to the remaining highest ranking applicant(s) in a manner that restricts these awards to one per company per scholarship year.

Scholarship forms can be downloaded from the CETA website at www.ceta.org and logging into the “Members” section, or by calling the CETA Office at 800-441-4111 or 704-635-7362.

The CETA Education Foundation funds scholarships through a variety of activities. Members using the CETA endorsed Marlin Leasing and Lease Consultants Programs earn the foundation rebates on each lease financed. Raffle Ticket Sales and Silent Auction Bids during PowerClean also help fund our efforts. Our Great Futures program allows companies and individuals an opportunity to become involved. And, as always, we continue to count on YOUR generosity! Your tax deductible, individual contributions are vital to our efforts and will be greatly appreciated by the deserving students who earn our awards.

Through the support of the CETA Membership and individual contributions, the Education Foundation has provided students with sixty seven (67) scholarships over the past thirteen (14) years. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has made this program possible and who will help the program grow in years to come.

Best Regards,

The CETA Education Foundation Board of Trustees
