The Nolan Moore Memorial Education Foundation (NMMEF), managed by PIA MidAmerica since 1995, voted to give funds to support financially at-risk students at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) in Waco, Texas who were negatively affected by COVID-19. All five of the students who were selected from the Visual Communication Technology program created a video to thank the Foundation for their support.
Michael Lewis, the Instructional Business Manager of the program, states “The support given to our students from our industry partners at PIA through the Nolan Moore Scholarship Foundation is important because many of our students experienced financial difficulties as a result of the pandemic. The support is not just financial, but receiving it is an honor to be recognized by such a prestigious organization that serves as a pillar in the printing and graphics communications industry.” PIA MidAmerica President Teresa Campbell says, “These scholarships are so important to ensuring the future of the print and packaging industry, which functions as an essential part of our national economy. It was an honor to be able to support the next generation of print-professionals that have been impacted by the hardship of COVID-19.”
