ScholarshipsThe National Association of Women in Construction believes that it is their responsibility to enhance the success of women in the construction industry, to reach out to its members as well as the community to educate and to expose young people to exciting careers in construction. We’re pleased to report that since 2015 NAWIC Nashville has give $20,000 to worthy recipients in construction related programs. Annually, scholarship applications are sent to local vocational high schools as well as colleges that offer construction related programs. Applicants must be pursuing an education and career in a construction related field. Programs may include architecture, construction management, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, etc. We consider high school seniors and those already enrolled full time and we encourage those who have received awards in the past to reapply in future years. The Board of Directors determines the amount of scholarship funds to be awarded every year, then coordinate application delivery to NAWIC Founders Scholarship Fund (NFSF) who reviews and decides recipients. Notifications go out in June to those who have been awarded the scholarship. We invite the recipients and their guests to a future meeting to celebrate their success. Applications are due February 28th. Thank you to all our scholarship sponsors throughout the years! We appreciate your continued support! |
