NADCA Awards Over $70,000 in David Laine Memorial Scholarships

Arlington Heights, IL - NADCA’s David Laine Memorial Scholarship has awarded more than $70,000 to 16 students across North America for 2025.

The scholarship program was established in 1975 and its main objectives are: to provide financial assistance and encouragement to students who are interested in careers in the die casting industry; to foster and improve engineering education in die casting technology; and, to stimulate awareness of and interest in the die casting process.

The scholarship is awarded every year to applicants that have worked internships or co-ops in the die casting industry. Any student pursuing an undergraduate, master’s, or doctorate degree who has worked or interned at a die casting company or a supplier to the die casting industry is encouraged to apply.

The Laine winners will be highlighted in a more in-depth story in an upcoming issue of DCE. If your company is interested in learning more about the process of hiring an intern, we may be able to put you in touch with a colleague that you can speak to. Contact intern@diecasting.org.
