NWFA Partners in Education contribute to the success of the NWFA’s educational programs. NWFA Partners donate time and materials to the NWFA’s training programs and make financial contributions toward educational advancement.  3M, Delmhorst Instrument Co., and Primatech specifically funded the PIE Sponsored Scholarships, and chose the recipients based on all who applied throughout the entire 2022 school year. The recipients include: 

• Alex Hamilton of Grain Design Flooring, sponsored by Delmhorst Instrument Co.

Each winner will receive a $500 check to further their education in the hardwood flooring industry.
