NICE Charities Scholarship Fund
Live application window: March 2, 2026 through April 6, 2026 3:00 pm CT

NICE Charities, LLC has established a scholarship program to assist children and grandchildren of NICE member company employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational-technical school programs.

The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

Applicants to the NICE Charities Scholarship Fund must meet all of the following criteria:

  • Be dependent children* or grandchildren**, age 25 and under, of employees who have a minimum of one year of employment with a National Insulation Contractors Exchange (NICE) member company as of the application deadline date***
    *Dependent children are defined as biological, step- or legally adopted children living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee.
    **Grandchildren do not need to be dependents of employees.
    ***Employees of member companies must be in good standing as of the application deadline date.
  • Be high school seniors, high school graduates or current college undergraduates
  • Plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year

Awards

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $5,000 award. Up to 12 awards will be granted.

Applicants cannot receive an award through both the Bill Brinser Pak Scholarship and the NICE Charities Scholarship Fund.

Awards may be renewed for up to three additional years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance, full-time enrollment, and the employee’s continued employment with a National Insulation Contractors Exchange (NICE) member company.

Awards can be used for any education-related expenses.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Notification

All applicants will be notified in June.
