NRCA member announces annual scholarship winner

NRCA member Commercial Roofers Inc., Las Vegas, recently awarded its annual scholarship to Jason Saccoliti, a fourth-year student at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, who is studying to become an architect.

Commercial Roofers established the scholarship program with UNLV in 1998, giving an annual scholarship of $1,000 each year to a deserving third- or fourth-year architectural studies student for 10 years. In 2008, the scholarship program was renewed with the annual amount increased to $1,500 each year for the next 10 years. In 2018, the scholarship program was renewed for another 10 years for an annual scholarship of $2,000 each year, totaling $20,000.

Commercial Roofers gives back to the industry by providing the scholarship in conjunction with a classroom presentation that helps teach the importance of proper and workable roof system designs to future architects.

“The whole reason for the program is to raise awareness of how important roofing systems are in the architecture instead of just glossing over it,” says Dennis Conway, principal of Commercial Roofers.
