Happy National Scholarship Month! The NFPA Education and Technology Foundation is excited to share updates for the upcoming scholarship cycle. In 2025, students applying for the Fluid Power Scholarship will be eligible for $2,500 awards toward their tuition expenses.
Fluid Power Scholarship Application Now Available
The NFPA Education and Technology Foundation is now accepting applications for $2,500 Fluid Power Scholarships available to students pursuing fluid power education. This scholarship is partially funded by generous donations to the Tom Wanke Legacy Fund. Multiple scholarships are available for the 2025-26 academic year. The deadline for applying is April 1, 2025, at 11:59 PM CDT.
A minimum 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale, 500-word essay, and one letter of recommendation are required from each applicant. The Foundation’s goal is to help graduating high school seniors, and individuals enrolled at technical colleges, community colleges, and universities pursue their interests in fluid power.
Please share this information with your educator contacts and encourage students to apply.
Volunteer Judges Needed for NFPA’s Scholarship Programs
NFPA Members are invited to help review applications for the Fluid Power Scholarship program. Reviewers can expect to review applications in April-June 2025.
NFPA’s scholarship programs rely on volunteer judges from the fluid power industry. The total time commitment is approximately 6-10 hours. In 2024, volunteer judges reviewed 187 eligible applications from students interested in fluid power education and careers.
The accomplishments of the 2024 scholarship awardees are currently being highlighted in the NFPA News and on our LinkedIn account. Many of these students will be seeking internships or full-time jobs in the future, so please keep them in mind for your hiring needs.
For questions, interest in volunteering as a judge, or more information about NFPA Scholarships, contact Haley Nemeth, Workforce Program Manager, at hnemeth@nfpa.com.
