    Jim Harkey Memorial Fund is the philanthropic arm of NARI Charlotte, in memory of one of our early leaders, and consistent with his commitment to those in need. In addition to providing assistance to NARI families in need, we support local non-profits and local chapters of national organizations. We also offer industry and general scholarships to NARI members and family. In 2018 , 2019, 2020 and 2021 we granted 4 scholarships in each year. These scholarships are designed for NARI of Greater Charlotte members and their children, to provide partial funding to high school students or industry professionals wanting to advance their education at a technical trade school or two or four-year nationally accredited college. Scholarship funds will be distributed per semester and can only be used for tuition, and books. To apply for this yearly scholarship, students are to complete the required forms and provide the materials to the NARI Jim Harkey executive board no later than one (1) semester before the semester they are requesting funding. The Board of Directors of the NARI Jim Harkey Memorial Inc. may also elect to provide scholarship grants to local community and vocational schools.
