The Nuckolls Fund for Lighting Education
From inception, the Fund has given $2,000,500 to support lighting education in North America.
Each year, the Fund solicits proposals from colleges and universities for innovative educational ideas consistent with the Fund’s objectives, and awards grants after rigorous review.
Annually, the Nuckolls Fund offers funding for three grants.*
Additionally, each year four awards are presented to students for outstanding achievement in lighting studies.
Detailed descriptions of the criteria for each grant are included in the respective Request for Proposal (RFP) for each grant. The students who receive academic awards are nominated by their faculty.
