    Instappraise has partnered with the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers (NAJA) to introduce two scholarships for aspiring and established jewelry appraisers. This initiative is set to provide substantial support to individuals keen on advancing their appraisal skills, offering both financial aid and educational opportunities.

    This collaboration brings forth two scholarships tailored for different membership statuses within NAJA, underscoring the partners’ dedication to excellence and innovation in the field.

    “Teaming up with NAJA to sponsor two new scholarships represents an exciting new milestone for us. Our mission at Instappraise has always been to elevate the industry by providing the right tools to the right people and it all starts with education,” says Raphael Boivin, Founder of Instappraise.

    “NAJA is at the forefront of appraisal education and plays a major leadership role in training the next generation of professional jewelry appraisers. We hope the new scholarships will help increase awareness in the jewelry appraisal field and make advanced appraisal education more accessible to more individuals. We look forward to supporting students and working with the next generation of professionals.”

    Scholarships Overview

    The scholarships aim to equip eligible candidates with crucial resources. The Instappraise NAJA Non-Member Scholarship offers a package valued at $2,070, which includes a one-year NAJA membership, the initial five lessons of the NAJA Appraisal Studies Course, and a year’s subscription to Instappraise’s appraisal software.

    The Instappraise NAJA Member Scholarship, valued at $1,775, is designed for current NAJA members and covers a one-year membership renewal, lessons 6-18 of the appraisal studies course, and a one-year software subscription.

    Eligibility and Application Process

    Applicants must fulfill specific criteria, such as submitting an essay on their career aspirations and how the scholarship would impact their professionalism. Moreover, they are required to present gemological qualifications (GG, FGA, FGAA, FGG, FCGmA, or RGA) and complete their coursework within designated timeframes, which vary depending on their membership status.

    “This partnership with Instappraise is a continuation of the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers’ commitment to appraisal education and supporting individuals in their pursuit of professional achievements,” states Gail Brett Levine, GIA GG, Executive Director, National Association of Jewelry Appraisers.

    Importance of USPAP Compliance

    A critical aspect of professional appraisal practice is adherence to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), ensuring integrity and public trust in appraisal services. Instappraise’s software supports the creation of USPAP-compliant reports, highlighting the commitment to upholding professional standards and responding to the evolving demands of the industry.

    Key Dates and Contact Information

    The application deadline is set for June 15th, 2024, with scholarship winners to be announced during NAJA’s 62nd Annual Mid-Year Education Conference from August 10-12, 2024. Interested parties are encouraged to visit the Instappraise website for application details and further information on the scholarships.
