The trades are a vital part of any society, keeping homes, towns, and entire countries running smoothly.
Succeeding in the trades takes great skill, yet these careers are often overlooked by students who are contemplating their future industries. From HVAC to electrical work to plumbing, building, and beyond, there are many different ways for students to exercise their talents.
This scholarship seeks to support students who are passionate about pursuing education and careers in the trades.
Any high school senior at Redwood Valley High School in Redwood Falls, Minnesota, may apply for this scholarship opportunity. However, applicants who are pursuing the trades are preferred.
