Workhorse Trade Initiative Scholarship
So many schools have abandoned shop classes, small engine classes, and other courses that introduce students to the skilled trades.
As more jobs require college degrees, high school students often feel pushed toward university rather than encouraged to explore other paths. While college is a great fit for many students, others would thrive in trade school. The trades touch everyone’s lives each day, and students passionate about these careers deserve support as they take their next steps.
The Workhorse Trade Initiative Scholarship aims to support high school seniors who plan to pursue the trades and begin building the futures of their dreams.
High school seniors in Pennsylvania attending school in the Franklin Regional, Norwin, Greensburg Salem, or Penn-Trafford School District may apply if they plan to pursue the trades.
