On Tuesday evening during CORROSION 2013 at House of Blues Orlando, the NACE Foundation recognized scholarship recipients for 2013. The Scholarship Awards Ceremony, sponsored by BP, recognized 23 students with 34 scholarships. Out of the 125 applications received by the Foundation, recipients were chosen by selection committees based on their academic excellence, work experience, professional activities, and commitment to the corrosion industry.
The Foundation also distributed travel assistance totaling more than $22,000 to 113 students. The NACE Foundation, now in its ninth year of awarding scholarships, is able to recognize these deserving students each year thanks to individual and corporate charitable donations, as well as the generous financial support of NACE sections and areas.
