2024 Next Generation Scholarship Recipients
Due to a great 2023 Dozer Day turnout and some wonderful fundraising events NUCA EWNI was again able to offer an additional scholarship for our 2024 applicants. Congratulations to $2500 recipient Carter Albertson, $1500 recipient Brook Morgan and $1000 recipient Tayla Eliason...we are happy to be able to encourage the next generation with their educational journey. Carter is our first industry award recipient, we encourage ALL NUCA members and their families to apply and want to remind you all that these funds are NOT school specific, they can be used for traditional next steps such as 4 year school or more industry specific training to include welding school, CDL training and more. NUCA is committed to our future workforce with an industry focus but not limited to industry only. The Next Generation Scholarship fund is just one of the many benefits of being a NUCA member.
