BE the Future Student Scholarship

About the Scholarship

In 2016, we launched BE the Future, a scholarship supporting current students' entry into the NESEA community. To date, we have welcomed more than 300 people through this initiative. Each student receives funding for a one-day pass to a BuildingEnergy conference, a pass to a BuildingEnergy Pro Tour, and a one-year NESEA Membership. In spring 2019, the BE the Future scholarship expanded to include support for a limited-number of scholarships for emerging professionals, defined as individuals who have worked in their field for less than five years. We put out the call for scholarship applications about a month before our conferences.

Scholarship Testimonials

As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, we reached out to past scholarship recipients to see how NESEA has impacted their careers - whether by facilitating a connection, sparking new ideas, or motivating a new career path. We were thrilled with the response! Visit this page to read a sampling of the responses we received.
