24 New Scholarships Donated for Awarding at the NASFAA Conference

The scholarship give-away at the NASFAA Conference has been a huge success since its inception, with 90 scholarships worth over $65,000 being raffled at last year's Conference alone. NASFAA is again encouraging exhibitors to hold drawings for scholarships at the Conference in conjunction with, or in lieu of, other prizes they would normally give.

Since the last announcement was made, six more companies have indicated that they also will be giving away scholarship at the Conference. These donations raise the total to 45 scholarships worth $32,500. We will keep you apprised of others as they are confirmed. A current list of donors appears below.
