\u00a0<\/strong>Section and District Named Scholarships<\/strong><\/a><\/p>

Madison-Beloit Section Scholarship<\/strong><\/p>

Welders Supply Co. Scholarship\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

When George Uhlir started Welders Supply Company in 1938, he could not possibly have imagined how it could evolve to what it is today. As a respected welder in Beloit, George\u2019s goal was simply to offer local industries the best welding products available and share his expertise to help other welders. Today, we remain loyal to George\u2019s vision, but on a much larger scale.<\/p>

Besides being an online vendor of high-quality welding equipment throughout the Midwest and beyond, Welders Supply also provides expert technical support across Southeast Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. From our original office in Beloit, Welders Supply has expanded into Big Bend, Burlington and Rockford to better serve our growing customer base. Despite this growth, we have stayed true to our roots as an independently-owned business focused on quality\u2014both in the equipment we offer and the service we provide our customers.<\/p>

While technology has changed just about everything about our business\u2014from the equipment we offer to the way it\u2019s sold\u2014one thing remains the same today as it was when George Uhlir ran this company: Your success is our success.<\/p>

This scholarship is available to a student at Blackhawk Technical College in Janesville, WI pursuing studies in welding in a certificate or degree granting course of study.<\/p>

Ted B. Jefferson Memorial Scholarship<\/strong><\/p>

In 1943, Ted Jefferson, then a principal of the Welding Engineer Publishing Company, revised the Welding Encyclopedia for the first time. He edited and published the 11th through 17th editions over a period of 33 years. Ted Jefferson died on July 6, 1988, at the age of eighty.<\/p>

In honor of Ted Jefferson\u2019s long association and dedication to the Welding Encyclopedia, the American Welding Society renamed the book Jefferson’s Welding Encyclopedia in 1976.<\/p>

Welder Training Scholarship<\/strong><\/a>

Each District has a minimum of 25 – $1,000 scholarships to award.\u00a0Applications are accepted January-November and selections are made on a rolling basis until the District awards the designated funds for the year.<\/p>
