Scholarship Award

The NKBA will provide one scholarship in the amount of $450 and a perpetual plaque with a plate bearing the name of the student each year who demonstrates outstanding achievement in the kitchen and bath coursework at each eligible school. The plaque and scholarship check will be mailed to the college coordinator.
