For many students, a traditional four-year degree isn’t a great fit. But that doesn’t mean they can’t further their education and set themselves on a path toward a great career.

Going to trade school can be a great alternative, allowing them to hone valuable skills to help them succeed professionally. If your student lands some great vocational scholarships, they can earn their credentials for less.

While academic achievement is often a key criterion for these scholarships, highlighting the importance of a student’s performance and merit, they aren’t the only factor.

The Racine Kenosha Builders Association hosts our annual Youth Scholarship Benefit to raise funds and help students achieve their goals and reach their fullest potential in the trades. We encourage all interested applicants to take advantage of this opportunity.

Now in its 5th year, Racine Kenosha Builders Association Scholarship program has awarded more than $100.000 in scholarships to 100 apprentices.

The scholarships help apprentices overcome financial barriers so they can focus on continuing and completing their apprenticeships and secure in-demand jobs.

Each apprentice got $2,000 to purchase specialized equipment needed for apprenticeships, such as hand tools, reinforced and fire-resistant work pants, helmets, heavy-duty gloves, safety goggles, protective jackets and steel-toe boots.
