Future Craftsman & Design Award
The Building Congress & Exchange Foundation is proud to support our youth who are pursuing careers, training or degrees in the construction and design industry. Each year, the foundation awards the Future Craftsman & Design Award to deserving high school students who demonstrate excellence in the construction and design fields, including carpentry, masonry, electrical, drafting and mechanical trades. In addition to peer recognition and a commemorative plaque, the winners receive a $1,000 scholarship to be applied toward the cost of tuition for further construction or design-related education, or toward the purchase of tools to begin work in a construction career.
Criteria for applicants:
- Must be a student enrolled in carpentry, electrical, masonry, drafting or mechanical trade
- Must be a high school senior in the next school year
- Must have a 95 percent attendance record and passing grades
Applicants must submit the following information along with the completed application:
- Letter of recommendation from his/her technology education teacher
- Letter of recommendation from his/her principal
- Transcripts for the current and two prior academic years
- Proof of 95 percent attendance
- Proof of enrollment in either carpentry, masonry, electrical, drafting or mechanical trade
All applications will be reviewed by the Future Craftsman & Design Committee. Students selected for interviews will be notified in May. Interviews with the committee will take place in June and winners will be notified in July. The Future Craftsman & Design Awards will be presented at the Building Congress & Exchange’s Annual Craftsmanship Awards in November.
