Foundation has scholarships for trade schools, too

[Editor’s note: This is the second in a five-part series on “What would a Scholarship do for me?” courtesy of the Greater Jefferson County Foundation.]

Not all scholarships are for four-year colleges or universities. That might have been the case in the past, but the opportunities for ‘Trade School’ scholarships are growing!

GJCF has scholarships available that focus on CAD, Machine Shop/Metal Working or Welding that target SE Iowa Community Colleges such as IHCC, Kirkwood or SECC. Another is an OPEN scholarship for any Trade School, and this would envelope more opportunities such as Auto or Diesel Tech, etc.

The scholarship period for application begins December 1 and ends February 1 at 4:00 PM. Online application for these scholarships is available on our website at www.gjcfscholarships.org. Call 641-472-0758 or email at gjcf0758@windstream.net for more information.
