2023 NCBFAA Annual Scholarship Opportunity
NCBFAA is delighted to announce that not one, but two competitive $5,000 scholarships are now available to help future members of our industry achieve their goal of furthering their education! These scholarships help offset the costs students accrue while learning the skills they will need to succeed in a career in Customs Brokerage, Freight Forwarding, or related field, such as international trade.
Our Association is most appreciative of Roanoke Insurance Group for their longtime and invaluable support of this annual NCBFAA scholarship program and now welcome onboard Alba Wheels Up for generously providing this second scholarship to our members.
NCBFAA's two annual scholarships help cover the following costs:
- Tuition
- Student housing
- Books and materials
- Living expenses
- And much more...
