Who Can Apply:
- Too often, vocational or trade paths are overlooked or undervalued, even though they are the backbone of our communities.
- Electricians, mechanics, medical technicians, welders, carpenters, and countless other skilled professionals make the world function, and these careers deserve just as much respect and support as any college degree.
- Many vocational students come from backgrounds where opportunity hasn’t always come easily. Financial hardship, family responsibilities, or a lack of support can make continuing education feel out of reach. But making the choice to invest in the future, learn a trade, gain a skill, and contribute to the world is something powerful and worth encouraging.
- This scholarship seeks to support students who are pursuing vocational or trade education in order to build their futures.
- Any trade school student may apply for this scholarship opportunity. Applicants should exhibit determination, skill, and a deep commitment to meaningful, hands-on work.
Submission: To apply, tell us about your inspiration for pursuing the trades, what obstacles you’ve faced, what your goals are, and how this scholarship would help you achieve your goals.
