NAWIC Undergraduate and Construction Trades Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by NAWIC Founders Scholarship Foundation
Introduction
The NAWIC Founders’ Scholarship Foundation (NFSF) supports the construction industry by funding higher education and certified training that prepare people for careers across the sector — from trades and project management to administration, legal, finance, insurance, and business ownership. Established in 1963, NFSF is a self-supporting scholarship program classified as a 509(a)(3) organization; donations are tax-deductible as charitable contributions. We also offer scholarship administration services for companies or local NAWIC chapters.
Awards and Funding
Each year NFSF distributes more than $250,000 in scholarships to students pursuing construction-related programs. Individual awards begin at $1,000. Some local NAWIC chapters may offer additional scholarships. For questions about eligibility or other concerns, email nfsf@nawic.org.
