Bick Vocational/Trade School Scholarship
Too often, vocational or trade paths are overlooked or undervalued, even though they are the backbone of our communities.
Electricians, mechanics, medical technicians, welders, carpenters, and countless other skilled professionals make the world function, and these careers deserve just as much respect and support as any college degree.
Many vocational students come from backgrounds where opportunity hasn’t always come easily. Financial hardship, family responsibilities, or a lack of support can make continuing education feel out of reach. But making the choice to invest in the future, learn a trade, gain a skill, and contribute to the world is something powerful and worth encouraging.
This scholarship seeks to support students who are pursuing vocational or trade education in order to build their futures.
Any trade school student may apply for this scholarship opportunity. Applicants should exhibit determination, skill, and a deep commitment to meaningful, hands-on work.
To apply, tell us about your inspiration for pursuing the trades, what obstacles you’ve faced, what your goals are, and how this scholarship would help you achieve your goals.
