About Scholarship
As the demand for construction and home improvement specialists in the US and Canada continues to grow, the need for skilled tradespeople is increasing by leaps and bounds. This will depend largely on the ability of training programs to turn out highly-qualified individuals who will provide the backbone of the industry.
To help ensure that these fields will be able to meet the need for specialized skills in years to come, Toronto-based home improvement platform TrustedPros has instituted a scholarship program.
To help qualified applicant meets the demand of rising tuition, TrustedPros will award two yearly scholarships (one to a Canadian resident and the other to a US resident). Each scholarship is in the amount of $1,000CAD, and will be awarded to qualified applicants enrolled in a residential renovation or construction trade-related course of study. Scholarships winners may apply the funds to the cost of tuition or textbooks.
Scholarships will be awarded to individuals who submit an essay determined to be of the highest-quality. Winners will have met the other terms of qualification. Individuals who are awarded a scholarship will not be eligible to reapply in the future.
