2012 Scholarship

NATIONAL DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION PICATINNY CHAPTER

The National Defense Industrial Association has nearly six decades of service to the nation as an educational, scientific, engineering, non-profit society of American citizens. Accomplishments of its goals required close working relationships among industry, science, government and the military services. At the same time, increased attention is being given to long-range national problems, such as energy and the environment, which could significantly impact on planning for a ready national defense.

The Picatinny Chapter scholarship and awards programs are designed to provide financial assistance to students in pursuit of high technology educational programs.
