Scott W. Trades Memorial Scholarship
Scott Van Antwerp was a beloved father and exceptional plumber who sadly passed away too soon, leaving his family behind.
Plumbing and other trades are vital professions in our society, keeping our infrastructure running, advancing our architecture, and providing essential services. Despite the impactful nature of the trades and the comfortable salaries offered, many young people never consider pursuing careers in the trades.
This scholarship aims to honor the life of Scott by encouraging students to follow in his footsteps and pursue the trades.
Any trade school student may apply for this scholarship opportunity, whether they’re furthering their education or just beginning their education in a trade skill.
To apply, tell us what trade you’re pursuing, what your goals are, and what your plans after graduation are.
