SCOAR’s Scholarship and Training Grant Program supports the next generation of skilled professionals in the industrial construction sector by providing student scholarships and training grants for educational institutions. Since 2010, the program has invested over $250,000 reflecting SCOAR’s goal to invest at least $20,000 annually in scholarships and training grants.
SCOAR awards scholarships to students pursuing careers in construction and related fields, including safety. Funded by member company donations, awards include $5,000 scholarships for Construction Management or Engineering majors, $2,500 scholarships for safety-focused degrees, and $1,000 scholarships for students enrolled in community, technical, or apprenticeship programs. Funds are disbursed directly to schools where students are currently enrolled.
Training grants support high schools, technical schools, community colleges, apprenticeship programs, and universities in developing or expanding construction programs across SCOAR’s 12-state footprint. Up to $4,500 per state may be awarded annually based on submitted and selected applications and available funding. Eligible institutions require a recommendation from a member in good standing. Funds are disbursed directly to educational institutions.
