The NEMRA Empower Tomorrow Fund was established, in partnership with Scholarship of America, to reward the academic excellence of the sons and daughters of NEMRA members and their employees. NEMRA Empower Tomorrow Fund has now provided over $150,000 in Scholarships to sons and daughters of NEMRA Members and their employees.

Due to the generous contributions from our membership, and industry friends, the NEMRA Empower Tomorrow Fund is able to award 21 annual scholarships to deserving students, for the 2021-22 academic year.

The scholarships are awarded based on academic record, as well as participation in school and community activities, work experience, and unusual personal or family circumstances. With the ever rising cost of education, it’s critical that scholarships like these are available to help deserving students complete their education.

The registration window to submit an application, for the 2021-22 academic year, will open on September 1st, 2020 and closes on October 29, 2020. Apply today!
