On Tuesday evening at Republic NOLA, the NACE Foundation recognized its 2017 scholarship recipients during the Scholarship Awards Ceremony. Out of the more than 850 applications received by the NACE Foundation, 39 outstanding students were selected for 55 scholarships. Recipients were chosen by selection committees based on their academic excellence, work experience, professional activities, and commitment to the corrosion industry.
The NACE Foundation also distributed $41,600 in travel assistance to 161 students attending CORROSION 2017 to present their research in the Student Poster Session or technical program.
The NACE Foundation, now in its 13th year of awarding scholarships, is able to recognize these deserving students each year thanks to individual and corporate donations, as well as the generous financial support from NACE sections and areas.
