Since its inception, the Scholarship Fund has awarded more than 1 MILLION in scholarship aid to the families of employees of our member companies. This program is totally funded by voluntary contributions from the member companies. Your generous support in the form of annual gifts, dues contributions, and participation at the NERSA annual meeting, all help to make this program work.
Thank you for your continuing support.
Sincerely,
