THE ROBERT GRIESER
MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
The Robert Grieser Memorial Scholarship is a $1,000 award honoring the memory of Robert Grieser, a founding member of the National Correctional Industries Association, 1998 association president, and a passionate leader in the field of Correctional Industries. His many years of contributions earned him the field's highest honor, the Rodli Award, in 2003.
