NAWIC Founders Scholarship

The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) is pleased to offer two scholarships as Undergraduate scholarship and Construction Trades Scholarship.  Knowing that women represented only a small fraction of the construction industry, the founders organized NAWIC to create a support network.  The scholarships are open to the residents of U.S. Each year they award over $25,000 to worthy recipients in construction-related programs.
