Growing up, I learned that hard work isn’t just about effort—it’s about consistency, integrity, and doing the right thing even when no one is watching. These values have shaped my life and inspired my pursuit of a career in electrical construction. These values were instilled in me early, especially through my experience working on a farm. Long days, early mornings, and physically demanding tasks taught me discipline, responsibility, and the importance of showing up with a strong work ethic. I’ve always been drawn to hands-on work and problem-solving. I’ve seen how skilled trades can make a real difference. I chose Dunwoody College because of its reputation for excellence and its commitment to preparing students for meaningful careers. I currently work three jobs, just as I did throughout high school while also playing four sports. At thirteen, my teacher asked me to work on her family’s cattle farm, and I’ve been there ever since. Though the pay is modest, I stay because I genuinely enjoy the hard work—caring for 300 cattle, baling hay, and maintaining the farm. The farmer has taught me the value of responsibility, problem-solving, and humility. When he traveled abroad for two weeks, he entrusted me with the entire farm, and I successfully managed everything. I work every Saturday, rain or shine, and never call in sick. Each day brings new challenges—from mending fences to chasing loose cows—and I’ve learned to think quickly and solve problems on the spot. This past summer, I worked at an electrical company where I gained hands-on experience in the field I hope to pursue. I showed up early, worked hard, and took initiative. The team was so impressed with my work ethic and attitude that they offered me a job upon graduation. That opportunity means a lot to me—it’s a reflection of the values I’ve built through years of hard work and a sign that I’m on the right path. I also work at a store display company, where I’ve gained experience with power tools, reading blueprints, and working as part of a team. These roles have prepared me for a career in the trades, and my supervisors would tell you I’m hardworking, eager to learn, and committed to doing my best every day. In every job I’ve held, I’ve shown up early, stayed late, and taken pride in doing things the right way. I believe that character matters just as much as skill. I treat others with respect, take responsibility for my actions, and strive to be someone others can count on. This scholarship would not only ease the financial burden of my education—it would also affirm the values I live by. I’m ready to work hard, learn deeply, and contribute to the field with integrity and purpose. My long-term goal is to own my own electrical business. I want to build a company that values quality work, treats employees with respect, and serves the community with integrity—just as I’ve been taught to do.

My name is Lukas McGill and I am in my first year at Dunwoody School of Technology. I graduated from high school with a 3.3 grade point average. I am pursuing a degree in the trades, specifically electrical construction. I am very interested in the trades because I enjoy working with my hands. I love to problem-solve and see the finished product. I have spoken to many electrical companies near my home and have shadowed electricians to observe their work. One business owner and electrician I shadowed said "it is refreshing to meet a young man with confidence and a strong work ethic". He was impressed with my maturity and level of responsibility. I am also pursuing summer apprenticeship opportunities to increase my knowledge and gain experience in my trade. The school I am attending is Dunwoody School of Technology. This school is extremely expensive and requires me to take out many loans since my parents are unable to help me with tuition expenses. I feel it is worth it to get the best education. I began working when I was twelve years old. I currently work two jobs and did so in high school in addition to playing four sports and volunteering by helping elderly neighbors with outdoor chores. I began my working career by assisting with groundskeeping at local residences. This position taught me valuable skills such as being on time and doing a thorough and quality job. When I was thirteen, my teacher approached me about working on her family’s cattle farm. I have been working there ever since. Since it is a small family farm, I earn much less than I could earn at other jobs. I continue to work at the farm because I enjoy working hard, caring for the 300 cattle, baling hay and general caretaking of a farm. The farmer I work for has taught me the value of hard work, problem-solving, being responsible and generally how to be a good and humble person. An example of my work ethic and level of responsibility would be when the farmer left the country for two weeks (the first time in his life) and trusted his family’s livelihood, their farm, to me. I successfully managed the entire farm and animals. I work every Saturday throughout the year in the rain, heat, and snow and never call in sick. I use my problem-solving skills every day at work. You never know what the animals are going to do and I never know what the farmer will have planned for me each day. Sometimes we are mending fences, sometimes we are tending to sick animals, sometimes we are cleaning the stalls and sometimes a cow gets loose. Now that requires quick thinking, problem-solving and fast feet. In addition, I work at a store display company. I have learned how to use power tools, read blueprints and how to work on a team. This experience has prepared me to work in the trades by giving me real-world experience in a successful shop environment. My supervisor would tell you that I work hard, I am willing to learn, and I do my best every day. Over the last few years, I have enjoyed learning to fix and build many things. I assisted my dad in finishing my bedroom in the basement of our house. This entailed framing, sheet rocking, trimming and finishing the entire room. I also have been learning to repair boat motors and generators with the help of family friends who are skilled in these areas. I enjoy being able to solve problems on my own but also have some help when it is needed. If you talked to most adults in my life, they would tell you that I am a person with good moral character who works hard, is dependable and responsible and strives to do the right thing everyday. I am applying for this scholarship because I would be a good steward of the money for my education. I am motivated to finish my schooling and know that I will be successful in my trade because I am a hard worker and have a good moral character. I would like to eventually have my own business and mentor other individuals within the trades. I would be very thankful to receive this scholarship. Thank you for considering me to honor Mr. Ford.

My name is Lukas McGill and I am in my first year at Dunwoody School of Technology. I graduated from high school with a 3.3 grade point average. I am pursuing a degree in the trades, specifically electrical construction. I am very interested in the trades because I enjoy working with my hands and love to problem-solve and see the finished product. I have shadowed electricians to observe their work. One business owner and electrician I shadowed said "it is refreshing to meet a young man with confidence and a strong work ethic". He was impressed with my maturity and level of responsibility. The school I am attending is extremely expensive and would require me to take out many loans but I feel it is worth it to get the best education. I began working when I was twelve. I currently work two jobs and did so in high school in addition to playing four sports and volunteering by helping elderly neighbors with outdoor chores. I began my working career by assisting with groundskeeping at local residences. This position taught me valuable skills such as being on time and doing a thorough and quality job. When I was thirteen, my teacher approached me about working on her family’s cattle farm. I have been working there ever since. Since it is a small family farm, I earn much less than I could earn at other jobs. I continue to work at the farm because I enjoy working hard, caring for the 300 cattle, baling hay and general caretaking of a farm. The farmer I work for has taught me the value of hard work, problem-solving, being responsible and generally how to be a good and humble person. An example of my work ethic and level of responsibility would be when the farmer left the country for two weeks and trusted his family’s livelihood, their farm, to me. I successfully managed the entire farm and animals. I work every Saturday throughout the year in the rain, heat, and snow and never call in sick. I use my problem-solving skills every day at work. You never know what the animals are going to do and I never know what the farmer will have planned for me each day. Sometimes we are mending fences, sometimes we are tending to sick animals, sometimes we are cleaning the stalls and sometimes a cow gets loose. Now that requires quick thinking, problem-solving and fast feet. I also work at a store display company. I have learned how to use power tools, read blueprints and how to work on a team. This experience has prepared me to work in the trades by giving my real-world experience in a successful shop environment. My supervisor would tell you that I work hard, I am willing to learn, and I do my best every day. I also enjoy helping my grandmother with all kinds of chores. We lost my grandfather a few years ago to pancreatic cancer so she needs a lot of help with outside chores like mowing and shoveling to various repairs around her home. I am applying for this scholarship because I feel I would be a good steward of the money for my education. I am motivated to finish my schooling and know that I will be successful in my trade because I am a hard worker and have a good moral character. I would like to eventually have my own business and mentor other individuals within the trades. I would be very thankful to receive this scholarship. Thank you for considering me.

My name is Lukas McGill and I am starting my first year at Dunwoody School of Technology this fall. I graduated in the spring with a 3.3 grade point average. I am pursuing a degree in the trades, specifically electrical construction. I am very interested in the trades because I enjoy working with my hands and love to problem-solve and see the finished product. I have spoken to many electrical companies near my home and have shadowed electricians to observe their work. One business owner and electrician I job shadowed said "it is refreshing to meet a young man with confidence and a strong work ethic". He was impressed with my maturity and level of responsibility. The school I am attending, Dunwoody School of Technology in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is extremely expensive and would require me to take out many loans but I feel it is worth it to get the best education. I began working when I was twelve years old. I currently work two jobs and did so in high school in addition to playing four sports and volunteering by helping elderly neighbors with outdoor chores. I began my working career by assisting with groundskeeping at local residences. This position taught me valuable skills such as being on time and doing a thorough and quality job. When I was thirteen, my teacher approached me about working on her family’s cattle farm. I have been working there ever since. Since it is a small family farm, I earn much less than I could earn at other jobs. I continue to work at the farm because I enjoy working hard, caring for the 300 cattle, baling hay and general caretaking of a farm. The farmer I work for has taught me the value of hard work, problem-solving, being responsible and generally how to be a good and humble person. An example of my work ethic and level of responsibility would be when the farmer left the country for two weeks and trusted his family’s livelihood, their farm, to me. I successfully managed the entire farm and animals. I work every Saturday throughout the year in the rain, heat, and snow and never call in sick. I use my problem-solving skills every day at work. You never know what the animals are going to do and I never know what the farmer will have planned for me each day. Sometimes we are mending fences, sometimes we are tending to sick animals, sometimes we are cleaning the stalls and sometimes a cow gets loose. Now that requires quick thinking, problem-solving and fast feet. In the summers, I work at a store display company. I have learned how to use power tools, read blueprints and how to work on a team. This experience has prepared me to work in the trades by giving my real-world experience in a successful shop environment. My supervisor would tell you that I work hard, I am willing to learn, and I do my best every day. I also enjoy helping my grandmother with all kinds of chores. We lost my grandfather a few years ago to pancreatic cancer so she needs a lot of help with outside chores like mowing and shoveling to various repairs around her home. These tasks allow me to spend quality time with her. I am applying for this scholarship because I feel I would be a good steward of the money for my education. I am motivated to finish my schooling and know that I will be successful in my trade because I am a hard worker and have a good moral character.

My name is Lukas McGill and I recently graduated from high school with a 3.3 grade point average. I am interested in pursuing a degree in the trades, specifically electrical construction. I am very interested in the trades because I enjoy working with my hands. I love to problem-solve and see the finished product. I continue to push myself to learn new technical skills both in my employment and in my personal life. I have recently begun working on boat engines and love the challenge. I have spoken to many electrical companies near my home and have shadowed electricians to observe their work. One business owner and electrician I job shadowed said "it is refreshing to meet a young man with confidence and a strong work ethic". He was impressed with my maturity and level of responsibility. I have toured and been accepted into several trade schools. The school I am attending is Dunwoody School of Technology. This school is extremely expensive and would require me to take out many loans since my parents are unable to help me with tuition expenses. I feel it is worth it to get the best education.

My supervisor would tell you that I work hard, I am willing to learn, and I do my best every day. I have used the skills I have learned at this job at home by finishing my bedroom in the basement of my parents home. It was an unfinished room that we framed, sheet rocked, painted and finished. It was a challenge but one that taught me a lot. I enjoy helping my grandmother with all kinds of chores. We lost my grandfather a few years ago to pancreatic cancer so she needs a lot of help with outside chores like mowing and shoveling to various repairs around her home. These tasks allow me to spend quality time with her. In eighth grade, I was honored to receive the Certificate of Distinguished Achievement Award by the American Legion Post 121. It recognizes the possession of the qualities of courage, honor, leadership, patriotism, scholarship, and service. I was nominated by my teachers and principal. I am applying for this scholarship because I feel I would be a good steward of the money for my education. I am motivated to finish my schooling and know that I will be successful in my trade because I am a hard worker and have a good moral character. I would like to eventually have my own business and mentor other individuals within the trades. I believe it is so important to give back to others as others have helped me along the way. I have had such wonderful mentors such as my current boss on the farm and would hope to be able to return the kindness that was shown to me. I would be very thankful to receive this scholarship. Thank you for considering me.
