Carlsbad, Calif.—The Gemological Institute of America's (GIA) fifth annual Richard T. Liddicoat (RTL) Scholarship Fund campaign is now underway.

The fund, which was created by the GIA Alumni Association in 2003 to honor Liddicoat, the institute's longtime president and chairman, furthers Liddicoat's personal mission of providing gemological education to worthy students by awarding two full scholarships each year in the GIA Graduate Gemologist (G.G.) diploma program.

The winners will be announced at the GIA's Industry Awards Presentation at the Tucson trade shows in February 2008.

To date, the RTL Scholarship Fund has granted eight full scholarships. This year's recipients, Dixie M. Louviere of New Orleans and Victoria Pulla-Corella of New York, were awarded scholarships for the On Campus and Distance Education programs, respectively.

"I am honored to be the recipient of such a prestigious scholarship," Pulla-Corella said. "Thanks to GIA and Mr. Liddicoat's legacy, my dream to design and market jewelry that's on par with some of the industry's most well-known companies is taking its first step toward becoming a reality."

To contribute to the RTL Scholarship Fund or to establish a GIA scholarship in the name of an individual, company or professional organization, contact Bev Berthoty, GIA manager of institute relations, at (800) 421-7250 ext. 4120.

Applications for the 2008 RTL Scholarships are available on the GIA Web site at GIA.edu and will be accepted until Oct. 15.
