2014-15 USITT-NBS Scholarships
& Emerging Professional Grant
for support to the National Conference
A great big ‘thank you’ to USITT, all of our NBS members, SECOA, Norcostco/Stage Technology for making these awards possible. Without the membership and corporate sponsorship we would not be able to offer the number of scholarships that we do and in an amount to truly help offset the expenditures of travelling to the annual conference. We are also excited to award the first ever NBS Emerging Professional Grant to help support an NBS member that has graduated and pursuing a professional career in technical theater.
