NAWIC Undergraduate and Construction Trades Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by NAWIC Founders Scholarship Foundation
Introduction
The NAWIC Founders’ Scholarship Foundation (NFSF) supports the construction sector by helping develop a skilled workforce through college degrees and certified training. The construction field includes nearly every professional role — from trades and project management to administrative, legal, financial, insurance, and business ownership roles. The NFSF exists to support students pursuing careers in these areas.
Scholarships and Award Amounts
Each year the Foundation awards more than $250,000 to qualified students enrolled in construction-related programs. Individual awards begin at $1,000. In addition to national scholarships, some local NAWIC chapters offer their own awards.
