“One scholarship is specifically dedicated to a student who will be attending a Historically Black College or University (HBCU), and another is dedicated to a student who is planning to attend a vocational or trade school.  The most outstanding applicant will be selected to receive an additional honor, NOVEC’s $1,500 Manley Garber Scholarship (named for the late Co-op board chairman).”

“Students do not need to fill out a separate application for the Garber Scholarship. Applications for the NOVEC scholarships are available at College Scholarships. The application deadline is March 1, 2024.”
