NICA Scholarship Program
In 2018, NICA awarded $25,000 in scholarships (up from 2017’s $17,000). We have strengthened the scholarship program with the addition of the Gene O’Brien, CCE Vocational School Scholarship last year and the Scholarship Program will continue to award one scholarship with a donation from Coca-Cola in honor of CCE-designated NICA Members. In addition, this year we added an extra $4,000 scholarship in celebration of NICA's 25 year anniversary. The remaining scholarships will be provided using donations from fundraising and the NICA Membership.
