Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’re able to provide scholarships to over 1,000 NIC students every year, helping them overcome financial challenges and pursue their dreams. But we’re not stopping there. We’re setting our sights even higher and aiming to increase our scholarship awards by $500,000 annually. This means we can support even more deserving students on their journey to success. I encourage you to check out our Year in Review. It’s filled with inspiring stories of students whose lives have been transformed by scholarships – your support is making a real difference! Together, we’re building a brighter future for our students and our community. Let’s keep investing in their dreams and creating a better tomorrow.
With heartfelt thanks,
