The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) will significantly expand its scholarship program under its new Education and Research Foundation. The program, which will be launched during NWFA’s Wood Flooring Expo in Nashville, Tenn. April 16 to 19, will provide meaningful financial assistance to wood flooring professionals throughout the world.
“Over the years, the structure of our hands-on training has evolved,” states Michael Martin, NWFA president and CEO. “As the economy struggled, people in need of training were less able to afford the expense of travel, so we restructured our training to develop regional programs that would minimize travel expenses. Still, attendees struggled to afford the cost of these training programs, which NWFA has always run at a break-even or even at a loss.”
