Tools of the Trade and Construction Scholarship

OVERVIEW OF SCHOLARSHIP:   The FBA mission is to engage in construction-related educational activities that help young people understand and pursue rewarding careers in the construction industry.

Charlotte Desoto Building Industry Association leaders have created a scholarship fund to assist in addressing the pressing need for a better educated and trained construction industry workforce. Traditionally, at least 10% of FBA’s general operating budget is set aside to be awarded annually through the scholarship program. Since 2007, the CDBIA has awarded over $55,000 in scholarship funds to students interested in a career in the construction industry including our innovative “Tools of the Trade” Scholarship Award to those students going directly into the work force.

PURPOSE:   Scholarships are available in May and will be paid directly to the educational institution for books, tuition and lab fees. Tools of the Trade Scholarships will be handled on an individual basis to ensure that the recipient will have the proper tools for employment in a successful career in construction.

ELIGIBILITY: This scholarship application is open to Future Builders of America students, students in Charlotte and DeSoto counties and children of members of the Charlotte-DeSoto Building Industry Association.

APPLICATION DEADLINE:  Due April 1, 2020.
