NC Winner awarded Spring 2013 Ray M. Greenly Scholarship

More than two dozen college students received great news this month when they learned they were chosen as a recipient of a $5,000 scholarship from the NRF Foundation’s Ray M. Greenly Scholarship fund. Each student, representing 26 schools around the country, was nominated by educators based on demonstrated academic achievements and their strong passion for retail. As part of the application process, each recipient submitted essays on their career aspirations, how they would impact their community as a retailer, and the most inspiring retail innovation they have experienced as shoppers. In addition to the $5,000 scholarship, recipients will also receive a travel grant to attend the Shop.org Annual Summit in September. During the 2012-2013 school year, the NRF Foundation distributed nearly $375,000 in scholarships to college students. NC Winner: Shelby-Richards
