The NACE Foundation’s Scholarship Program was established to promote the study of corrosion science and engineering, as well as to recognize academic excellence and aid deserving students who demonstrate a drive to succeed and become contributing members of the corrosion industry.
The application process is open annually from September 1 through January 1 and the NACE Foundation offers several scholarships, funded by contributions from individual members, NACE Sections and Areas, corporations and other non-profit entities, to students who meet the criteria established by the scholarship donors. Each scholarship has its own specific set of eligibility requirements, and is reviewed by a separate Selection Committee.
If you are interested in applying for a scholarship through the NACE Foundation, please review the general scholarship guidelines below, in addition to any eligibility requirements for that specific scholarship, before submitting your application. Consideration will be afforded to all eligible candidates who apply, provided the candidate submits a completed application with all necessary documen-tation prior to the submission deadline.
Good luck to all of our applicants!

GENERAL SCHOLARSHIP GUIDELINES
Please be sure to review the guidelines below, along with any additional requirements on the individual

their travel to the annual conference to receive their award in person.

• Applicants may apply for as many scholarships as they are eligible, however, a maximum amount
of $10,000 per student (excluding Travel Assistance) will be awarded in any given year.
• Once a candidate reaches the $10,000 maximum, that candidate’s remaining application(s), if any,
will not be considered by subsequent Selection Committees. If the candidate applies for and receives a single scholarship that exceeds the $10,000 maximum amount, that candidate will be excluded from
consideration for all subsequent scholarships.
• All scholarship monies are paid directly to the recipient’s college or university and are to be used for educational expenses only. Expenses include, but not limited to: tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment required for courses at the educational institution.

recommendation forms provided by the NACE Foundation.
• NACE academic scholarships are not intended to replace stipends or other financial support provided to students for their education by industry, universities, or other organizations.
• Applicants must submit one complete copy of their application for each scholarship. This includes all information which is to be considered by the Selection Committee (with the exception of Recommendation Forms that are sent directly to the NACE Foundation).
• Previous applicants and recipients are eligible to reapply each year in open competition with new
applicants.
• Upon acceptance, all scholarship recipients must submit a color photograph of themselves to the
NACE Foundation, which will be used for publicity purposes.
