The NEKBA Scholarship Fund was established by the NEKBA Board in 2003 with the goal of providing material assistance, defraying costs, and promoting interest in helping young people discover the wonderful world of beekeeping. Through this program of providing beekeeping scholarships, we have uncovered an additional objective by bringing families together --through beekeeping!
The fund is generously replenished each year since program inception by donations, silent auction of items at our annual Bee Funday in June, and a regular auction at the November or December meeting.
Thank you to our members and team who directly or indirectly have been committed to helping families and others join in what started as a grassroots endeavor!
