Due to circumstances beyond our control, arising from the ongoing spread of COVID-19 and the continuing danger it poses to public health and safety, we were unable to honor this year’s scholarship recipients at our Scholarship Ceremony and GenNEXT Bash. The NACE Foundation has posted profiles for each student individually on our social media pages to honor the award winners. Please visit our Facebook , LinkedIn, and Twitter pages to like and share each student’s accomplishments. Recipients were chosen by selection committees based on their academic excellence, work experience, professional activities, and commitment to the corrosion industry.
The NACE Foundation, now in its 16th 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.
