Mike Nolan Scholarship Fund
 After working at a number of companies in the Solid Surface industry, Mike was elected to the ISFA Board of Directors in 2006 and served two terms. While on the Board, he revamped the entire Total Fabrication Training program for Solid Surface. He stepped down in 2012 and became the ISFA Director of Education. He is remembered by all who knew him in the industry as a person who shared freely of his time and knowledge.
In his honor, his wife Terry Kromke-Nolan, established the Mike Nolan Scholarship Fund in 2014 saying: “In the spirit of the ISFA Mission Statement and the hands on that Mike believed in so much, I would like to establish an education award.”
“We both believe that kids are so talented with their hands and so creative should be nurtured and given a chance to succeed”.
“I hope that this small beginning will be a goal that ISFA and I can continue to enhance for as many students as possible.”
“Know that I am thrilled for him when he joined up with all of you good folks.”
This fund had received donations from many ISFA members in Mike’s memory and we are working to create programs to support training and education for those that may not have the knowledge and resources to enter the industry.
