Support for Educators
The Nuckolls Fund offers educational resources and fellowship opportunities to educators, developed through grants and other financial assistance the fund receives.
Edison Price Fellowship
Amount: $20,000
The Fellowship enables a lighting educator to further their own education by spending a significant portion of a semester in the lighting industry working with a manufacturing or design firm, or at a college or university with a thriving lighting program working with an established professor.
