Students with a passion for social and environmental justice principles and an interest in the recycling industry are encouraged to apply for a 2021 Murray J. Fox Scholarship of $2,000. Approximately three scholarships will be awarded. Funds are provided to assist with education expenses, along with membership in the National Recycling Coalition, plus admission to the National Recycling Congress, happening virtually from Nov. 3-4. Applications will be accepted through Oct. 1.

The Murray J. Fox Scholarship Fund was created in 1994 to honor one of the founding members of the National Recycling Coalition through an endowment to continue his legacy of fostering future leaders. Since then, more than $135,0000 has been awarded to dozens of students. A tribute to him is posted at the NRC Campus Council's web page: www.nrcrecycles.org/campus

This year, 1-3 college students will be awarded between $1,000 and $3,000 to assist with their education expenses. Recipients will also receive membership in the NRC and complementary admission and recognition at the National Recycling Congress, being held virtually, November 3-4, 2021.

Funding will be focused this year on advancing students' academic and professional interests in social justice aspects of the recycling industry. Examples include COVID safety for custodians, climate action, and collaboration with the NRC's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Council.

Applications are accepted through October 1st. Apply at:
