NBT awards fall 2020 scholarships 

Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs® (NBT) is proud to award scholarships to 35 students pursuing a degree in the manufacturing field. Awards valued at $1,500 each will be used to defray costs for tuition, books, and school fees during the fall 2020 semester.

All scholarship award winners are full-time students enrolled in a manufacturing program in one of the eligible fields of study and met all eligibility requirements for the scholarship, including the minimum GPA requirement.

During the current challenging business climate, the manufacturing industry has proven to be essential in recovery efforts. More employees are needed more than ever to fill the void of skilled workers. The value that these students will provide to the industry is crucial to the future of manufacturing.

Listen to one of NBT’s spring 2016 scholarship winners on You Tube, Jeremy Kaszycki, give thanks and talk about his education leading into his manufacturing career:
