Featured Scholarship

Nordson BUILDS Scholarship: The mission of Nordson BUILDS is to attract and develop a diverse, highly-skilled talent pool for careers in the manufacturing industry. It is designed to help bright and motivated students access and complete postsecondary education by lessening the financial barriers of enrolling in college for many, and decreasing the loan burden for individuals that apply for financial aid. Manufacturers need engineers, scientists, production technicians, lawyers, financial analysts, IT specialists, accountants, salespeople, marketing and human resource professionals—all types of bright and talented people to succeed. Scholarships ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 are available for students who are pursuing majors in manufacturing, engineering-related STEM disciplines, or business leading to a career in industry and corporate America.
