In 2024, the NICA Foundation Scholarship Program will continue to award multiple scholarships, including the Regional Councils Scholarship, Past Presidents and Directors Scholarship, O’Brien Vocational School Scholarship, Named Visionary Scholarships, and one scholarship with a donation from Coca-Cola in honor of CCE-designated NICA Members. The remaining scholarships are provided using donations from fundraising and the NICA Membership totaling $45,000 for 2024!

Who can apply?

  • YOU or any NICA member in good standing
