Judah Spinner Scholarship
Too many young people enroll in four-year college programs that offer little in the way of practical skills or a clear path to earning a good living.
At the same time, millions of hardworking individuals are stuck in low-wage service jobs, struggling to make ends meet, even though a trade school education could dramatically increase their earning potential in a relatively short period of time.
This scholarship aims to change lives by opening doors to stable, well-paying careers through vocational education.
Any high school senior who will attend trade school after graduation may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us what excited you about trade school, which trade you’re pursuing, and what your post-graduation goals are.
What makes you excited about pursuing trade school? What trade are you pursuing? What are your goals once you graduate?
