The KSF Trades Scholarship backs students building careers in the skilled trades, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, welding, automotive and construction, along with the technical programs and registered apprenticeships that feed them.
The Kaleidoscope Scholarship Fund holds and administers this fund. Awards are paid directly to the recipient's enrolled institution or training provider.
Open to students enrolled in an accredited trade school, community college technical program or registered apprenticeship.
The jobs are open. Electricians, plumbers, welders and HVAC techs are in short supply and the pay is real. The training still costs money, and the costs that are not tuition are the ones that end it.
The Kaleidoscope Scholarship Fund holds and administers this fund, and disbursements go directly to the recipient's enrolled institution or training provider. Award amounts and the number of recipients are set each year based on what the community raises, so a bigger pool means more students finish.
A gift here does not buy a diploma to hang up. It buys a license, a set of tools and a first day on the job. Give once, or give every year.
