NIGP 94943: Named Recipient Scholarship Expense

NIGP 94943 Named Recipient Scholarship Expense is an Item code under which state and local governments directly fund scholarships designated for specific recipients — typically students meeting defined criteria such as residency, academic standing, field of study, or demographic characteristics. The code captures scholarship disbursements and related administrative expenses when a named recipient has already been identified and awarded, rather than open-pool scholarship management or general educational grants. State and local education agencies, school districts, and higher education institutions use this code to execute scholarship spending once recipients are selected through separate competitive or administrative processes.

Recent state and local procurement activity under this code is not documented in available sources, making it difficult to characterize current issuing-body patterns, geographic spread, or representative solicitations. The code appears to reflect transactional or grant-execution spending rather than procurements typically posted as RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices. If your firm handles education funding compliance, financial management services, or scholarship administration for state and local higher-education institutions, confirm directly with target agencies whether named-recipient scholarship execution generates standalone procurement opportunities or flows through broader education-services contracts.
