THE HISTORY
Since 2011, including this year, the association has awarded $43,000 in scholarships to deserving member company employees or their children. NECA is confident that these outstanding young people will be successful, and we are pleased to be of some small assistance.
This scholarship is offered annually to NECA members or a direct family member of an employee (child or spouse). Scholarship applications open every January and winners are announced in June.
Congrats to our 2024 Winners!
Thomas Rando Scholarship
Each year a scholarship is awarded in memory of Tom Rando. It is awarded to an applicant who embodies the values and talents of Tom Rando, an entrepreneur, innovator, and respected industry leader. The scholarship is funded from a generous donation from the Rando family.
The New England Carwash accepts donations for the scholarship program year round. If you would like to make a donation, click on the link!
