Scholarship Info.

In just a few months, North Carolina Retail Merchants Association (NCRMA) and its grocery division, the Carolinas Food Industry Council (CFIC), will give away $115,000 in scholarships through the Retail Consumer Alliance Foundation (RCA). 

From NCRMA, 6 students will each be awarded $2,500 towards the 2015-16 academic year.  From CFIC, 40 students will each be awarded $2,500 for the academic year.

Unlike traditional scholarship programs that only reward the highest level of academic achievement, NCRMA and CFIC will recognize students whose academic credentials fall within an average to above average range.  Applications and official transcripts must be received or post-marked by Monday, March 2, 2015.  To apply for a scholarship, go to: http://www.retailpaysforcollege.org.

The retail industry is North Carolina’s largest private employer, providing opportunities for life-long careers, strengthened communities, and innovation for our state. If you need additional information, please contact Christie Burris at NCRMA at 919-832-0811.
