The NRC's Education Grant Program awards an education grant to a college, university or technical school within the United States with a railway construction, railway engineering or construction management program. It is the only association grant program specific to the rail industry.
The Program was established to positively impact the future of the railroad and railroad construction and maintenance industry and to attract promising young people to the workforce by supporting an institution’s students and its education and research efforts.
The NRC welcomes grant applications from programs that provide or are looking to provide students with a foundation that would allow them to work successfully in the rail construction and maintenance contracting industry.
“Maintenance and construction are the backbone of the railroad industry. Membership in the NRC is critical to the success of the contractors, suppliers, and railroads. This association is on the cutting edge of current events, legislation, and every other component that drives the industry.”
