Track to the Trades
Building a successful, high-paying career in the trades starts with the right foundation: trade school.
Trade schools offer education and training opportunities that can help launch lifelong careers. Trade school graduates often earn degrees in half the time as their counterparts in traditional colleges. Additionally, vocational students often graduate debt-free and have stable jobs waiting for them after graduation.
This scholarship aims to support current and future tradespeople on their paths toward successful careers in the trades.
