Novonesis Biomanufacturing Pathways Scholarship
Launched in 2026, the Novonesis Biomanufacturing Pathways Scholarship supports aspiring biotechnology professionals as they pursue careers that make a meaningful difference. At Novonesis, we develop biosolutions that address challenges across food, health, agriculture, and renewable energy — helping people live healthier lives while making industrial processes more sustainable. We believe unlocking the potential of biology starts with building the skilled workforce that brings these solutions to life.
We're proud to support students preparing for careers in biomanufacturing, where science, technology, and operational excellence come together to improve lives and build a more sustainable future. By covering partial tuition and facility fees for the Biotechnology Career Certificate (BITCC), this scholarship gives students the knowledge, hands-on experience, and industry-relevant skills to pursue rewarding careers in production operations — including opportunities at our production facility in Blair, Nebraska.
At Novonesis, we're looking for future change-makers who want to use their talents to make an impact. At our Blair, Nebraska facility, we manufacture biosolutions for the bioenergy, animal feed, and advanced protein industries while supporting a growing biomanufacturing workforce in the region. If you're ready to build a career that creates a positive impact for people and the planet, we want you on our team.
