ALACHUA, Fla. — NCCER and its Build Your Future initiative (BYF) have partnered with the Folds of Honor Foundation to create an annual scholarship for the children and spouses of fallen or wounded soldiers who are seeking construction-related degrees.
NCCER will donate $20,000 to the Folds of Honor Foundation annually for five years. The foundation will use the funds to provide scholarships to students seeking a construction-related degree or certificate from a two- or four-year college, university or technical school. Military families interested in applying for the scholarship can visit the Folds of Honor Foundation website for more information.
Major Dan Rooney, Folds of Honor founder, said, “While we’ve had the support of NCCER and its employees for several years, it’s truly awe-inspiring to establish a $20,000 annual scholarship endowment to the families of fallen and disabled service members who are interested in pursuing construction careers. We applaud NCCER and Build Your Future’s commitment to honoring the sacrifice of our heroes and educating their legacy.”
NCCER and BYF have been proud supporters for the past five years, contributing more than $51,000.
