SEE Education Foundation Scholarship Challenge

Instantel, an ISEE Corporate Member, is offering a Scholarship Fundraising Challenge to our 2012 ISEE Annual Conference attendees. If the Challenge is met, a total scholarship donation of two thousand dollars (US funds) will be donated to the SEE Education Foundation - ISEE Scholarship Fund. Challenge forms will be available from the opening of the ISEE Conference Book Store on Saturday, February 11th to noon on Monday, February 13, 2012. The first person to match Instantel’s challenge with their donation paid at registration will receive an iPad worth $850. With receipt for the Scholarship Challenge payment in hand, the Challenge Donor can collect their iPad from Instantel at the closing of the ISEE Silent Auction on the afternoon of Monday, February 13, 2012 at the ISEE’s 38th Annual Conference on Explosives & Blasting Technique. Donations to Scholarship Funds are welcome at any time. Donations of more than one thousand dollars open the door to membership in the SEE Education Foundation President’s Club at the Bronze Level.
