Help Build the Future: Scholarships Available for Skilled Trade Students

March 4, 2025

With a national shortage of skilled workers in construction, encouraging interest in careers in the industry is crucial. We urge contractors, surety professionals, and industry partners to spread the word that there's scholarship money available to improve financial barriers and build a stronger workforce.

Who Can Apply?

Any student pursuing a craft or technical program is eligible for a Workforce Development Scholarship through the AGC Education and Research Foundation. Applicants can receive $1,000 per year, renewable for up to two years.

In honor of Merchants Bonding Company's 90th anniversary in 2023, we made a sizable donation that's STILL funding scholarships.

Where Do You Apply?

Interested applicants can go to AGCFoundation.org to learn more.

The application window is open March 1 - June 1, 2025.

Training the next generation of the workforce is one way to alleviate the ongoing labor shortage—so help spread the word!
