Congratulations to the 2026 NCPMA Scholarship Recipients!

Since 2004, the North Carolina Pest Management Association (NCPMA) has awarded annual scholarships to help encourage and build the next generation of pest management professionals. Each year, NCPMA proudly awards scholarships of up to $10,000 to students with preference given to those who demonstrate an interest in pursuing careers in the pest management industry. 

These scholarships are designed for students enrolling or currently enrolled in post-high-school programs at technical schools, colleges or universities. Winners of these scholarships must be owners or employees of NCPMA member companies or family members (spouses, children or grandchildren) of NCPMA member companies that have been in good standing with the organization for the past two years. 

We are proud to announce the 2026 recipients of these scholarships and wish them the best in the academic year ahead!
