Scholarship Program

The NEEBC Scholarship Program* was established to further the aims of the Council to advance the knowledge and education of individuals in or aspiring a career in the Human Resources, Employee Benefits, and/or Total Rewards field. NEEBC is proud to have contributed $218,000 to our worthy Scholarship Recipients since the Scholarship Program’s inception in 1990.

Scholarships are awarded annually to undergraduate and/or graduate students (part-time or full-time) currently enrolled in an accredited public or private New England college or university, who have completed minimally one semester of classes, and who have demonstrated an interest in Human Resources, Employee Benefits, and/or Total Rewards.

We award scholarships of up to $4,000 to a recipient. Each scholarship is merit based. Submissions are evaluated on the scholarship application and corresponding essay, the student’s college GPA and transcript, one or more references, and resume.
