In 2003, the North State Building Industry Association created a Scholarship Endowment to support students pursuing a course of study related to the building industry. Housed at the Los Rios Foundation, the Endowment has awarded more than $18,000 in scholarships to deserving students in our region.

The Scholarship Endowment is a testament to the local building industry's commitment to laying the foundations for developing a strong workforce and building a better tomorrow.

To support this effort or for more information about the Endowment, please contact the North State Building Industry Association at (916) 677-5717.

"The scholarship I received through the BIA Endowment and the Los
Rios Foundation helped me succeed and realize my full potential.
When I work with students and prepare them for their careers, I am a constant advocate for the multitude of opportunities the building industry provides."
