Nils "Rik" Nilsson, PE, F.NSPE, established the Nilsson Family Scholarship Fund to benefit exceptional Northeast Ohio students with financial need. This new scholarship honors the Nilsson family's enduring commitment to education and service and is dedicated to the memory of Rik's father, Vincent Nilsson, PE. Rik's vision is to support aspiring engineers who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership potential, and a desire to make a positive impact through engineering. Through this scholarship, the Nilsson family continues to inspire future generations of engineers to lead with purpose and a commitment to service. The scholarship will support promising students with strong aptitude in math, science, and technical subjects who may lack the financial means to pursue an engineering degree. Applicants must achieve freshman, sophomore, junior or senior college status when the scholarship is distributed. High school seniors may apply. Applicants will be evaluated based on the general criteria as well as activities, leadership, work experiences, membership and activity in professional and technical societies and honors won, and financial need. To be eligible for EFO's scholarships, a student must be a graduating high school senior. They must meet the minimum SAT (Math-600, Reading or Composition-500) or ACT (Math-29, English-25) test scores as set by the National Society of Professional Engineers. The scholarship is renewable for three years. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Engineers Foundation of Ohio for more information.
