1 Step 1

“This scholarship made it possible for me to continue my education and prepare for the responsibility of one day leading my family’s construction business. It allowed me to focus on learning, growing, and building the skills I’ll need to give back to the community that shaped me. Knowing this support came from people who believe in the future of the trades motivates me to carry that legacy forward.”

Carder Lance

“This scholarship has taken a huge weight off my shoulders and allowed me to focus on my education and goals without worrying about debt. It gave me the time and space to learn, gain experience, and stay committed to a field I care deeply about. Knowing there are people who believe in me and support women in the trades means more to me than I can put into words.”

Norma Solis

“This scholarship gave me the chance to really go after welding and believe in myself along the way. It helped me focus on learning, gaining experience, and turning something I love into a real career. Because of this support, I’m building a future in the trades that I’m proud of and excited about.”

Bailee Stiles

“This scholarship played a major role in helping me earn my degree in construction management while minimizing student debt and staying focused on my goals. It allowed me to gain real-world experience alongside my education and better understand both the building and business sides of the industry. I’m grateful for the support and proud to be building a career rooted in the trades and the community that invested in me.”

Isaac Bradshaw

“This scholarship didn’t just support my education — it opened doors for my future. It allowed me to graduate debt-free, gain advanced training, and confidently step into a career I’m passionate about. I wouldn’t be where I am today without this opportunity.”

Sydney Hickey

“The scholarship gave me hope and opened a door I didn’t know was possible. Neither of my parents went to college, so higher education once felt out of reach. This support helped turn what was once a dream into a real path forward.”
