For over 20 years NRCA has worked to find ways to raise money to fund scholarships for students attending one of Nebraska's 5 tech schools majoring in automotive technology, auto body or any other automotive related curriculum.  A portion of each members dues is ear marked for this rewarding effort of the association.  We also use the proceeds from the sale of merchandise, work we do for others, and direct donations.  Nothing we do gives us a better feeling than helping students who will use our funds to be successful in an automotive career.

.  Applications are graded individually, on a points basis in 10 different areas.  The committee then meets to review their individual findings and has always found that there is a consensus on the applicants that will be invited for an interview.

      Funding for scholarships is kept track of in a separate account and the NRCA board determines the number of $2,000 scholarships to make available each year. For this year the Board authorized UP TO 12 scholarships! If there are not enough highly qualified applications, only those who the committee feels are a good investment will be awarded a scholarship.  We are proud to report a high success rate for our scholarship participants.
