Scholarships are being offered to support students in construction-related education and apprenticeships. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised for the 2025-26 school year. These funds are available to both women and men pursuing careers in the construction industry.
The effort is part of a broader initiative to expand opportunities for women in skilled trades. An organization founded by 16 women in 1953 is behind this effort. It continues to advocate for women in an industry that has historically been dominated by men.
Further details about the scholarships and the organization's work are available from the National Association of Women in Construction.
