The Greater Oregon Section of the AWS is pleased to announce the Greater Oregon Section Welding Inspection Scholarship Help (WISH).

It is the goal of the Greater Oregon Section to use WISH to help train and certify the best and brightest inspectors. Greater Oregon hopes that by granting the candidate\u2019s WISH, we can not only give them the funds needed for training and certification but to provide them with a growing group of mentors, possessors of a vast array of knowledge and experience. If you are new to the field or expanding your certification profile join us, you never know when a WISH might come true.<\/p>
