Somewhere to turn when in need…….

Finding the aid that works for you

Several kinds of financial assistance programs are available. You can apply for multiple scholarships.  Most students receive help on a section and district level.  Award levels depend on the students dedication to a welding career and the amount of students who apply.  The programs are organized by the kind of training you are looking for. The categories include Section, District, National and International Scholarship programs.  Each is described below.

Our scholarship program assists students within section 074 and who seek vocational training, community college, or a degreed educational program in welding or related fields of study.  Section Scholorships have a March 1st deadline for students who wish to receive awards for the fall semester,  And a December 1st deadline for students who wish to receive an award for the spring semester.
