The skilled trades are the foundation of every building, road, and system that supports our daily lives. Yet many students who want to enter the trades face financial obstacles. That’s why ShareMyToolbox is proud to launch the Tools for Success Scholarship, a new construction scholarship designed to support students pursuing careers in the trades or construction management.
This annual scholarship program offers ten $500 awards to students enrolled in trade schools, apprenticeships, or college programs related to construction. And unlike many programs, this one is fully funded by ShareMyToolbox—with no financial obligation for applicants or sponsors.
What Is the Tools for Success Construction Scholarship?
The Tools for Success Scholarship was created to invest in the future of the construction industry. It provides financial assistance for tuition, required fees, books, and tools that students need to succeed in their training.
Whether a student is studying electrical work, HVAC, welding, plumbing, carpentry, or construction management, they can apply for this construction scholarship as long as they meet a few basic criteria.
Who Can Apply?
To be eligible, applicants must:
- Be a U.S. or Canadian citizen or legal resident
- Be enrolled or accepted into a construction-related program
- Be sponsored by a current ShareMyToolbox Business or Enterprise customer
- Submit a 500–800 word essay:
“Why I Chose a Career in the Trades & How I Plan to Make an Impact in the Industry.”
Students must also upload proof of enrollment (such as an acceptance letter or transcript) and a completed sponsor form.
How the Sponsor Program Works
One unique feature of this construction scholarship is its sponsor model. Instead of opening up the application process to anyone, ShareMyToolbox invites current paying customers to sponsor applicants through a short endorsement form.
Sponsors are asked to share why they’re recommending the applicant and confirm their customer status. If their sponsored student wins, the sponsor’s company name and logo will be included in winner announcements—highlighting their commitment to growing the future workforce.
