The Rising Stars Scholarship was created to teach younger students about the variety of career opportunities available in the retail industry, and to encourage them to attend the NRF Foundation Student Program early in their academic careers.
The Rising Stars Scholarship will become available in the Fall of 2020.
How it works
Each University Member can nominate one student the Rising Stars Scholarship. The nominated student must be a freshman or sophomore who hasn’t previously attended a NRF Foundation Student Program.
How to apply
An authorized University Member representative can nominate one student via a short application form. The representative will need to provide relevant information about the student. Please review the application rules for more information.
NRF University Members who nominate an eligible student will receive a $1,000 travel stipend, made payable to the school, for that student to attend the NRF Foundation Student Program.
