South Sound students Gabrielle Jones, Justin Miller and Keely Prawitz each received the Nist Family Scholarship that celebrates high-school seniors for their commitment to community involvement, their demonstration of leadership and tenacious drive towards future aspirations. These students have shown passion in their community and school involvement, self-growth in leadership opportunities and persistence when faced with adversity. We are proud to reward these students for their commitment and excellence as rising leaders within their generation.
“We saw as a family it was time to grow into something larger that will go on for many generations” were inspiring words spoken by one of the company’s owners, Mike Nist, regarding the establishment of this scholarship fund. In 2019, Seattle-Tacoma Box Company celebrated their 130-year anniversary under the same family management, which has spanned six generations. Our founding patriarch Jacob Nist deeply valued liberality and a spirit of benevolence when it came to any deserving cause. As a family, the Nist’s continue to carry that legacy into future generations.
The mission of the Nist Family Scholarship Fund is to support, promote and encourage the educational pursuits and goals of individuals directly associated with Seattle-Tacoma Box Company and associated companies, SeaCa Packaging and Commencement Bay Corrugated, with scholarship funds to help support the building of future generations.
