NAHB Members Help Students Finance Their Education
Committed to the future of the home building industry, NAHB’s members and councils are sponsoring scholarships for members of the association’s Student Chapters who are pursuing housing-related programs such as construction management, construction technology, mortgage finance, civil engineering, architecture or any of the trade specialties.
The National Housing Endowment, the philanthropic arm of NAHB, administers four scholarship programs for NAHB, including the recently established Strategies for Success Scholarship, which is sponsored by the NAHB Women’s Council.
The other scholarships administered by the endowment are the Centex Homes Build Your Future Scholarship, the Lee S. Evans Scholarship and the Herman J. Smith Scholarship.
Patsy Smith, vice chair of the Home Builders Institute (HBI) Board of Trustees, a trustee of the National Housing Endowment and chair of the Herman J. Smith Scholarship said of her late husband that, “Herman’s favorite motto was ‘always leave the woodpile higher than you found it,’ so we continue this in his honor.”
