In 2023, the world lost Colton Frahm, a man who should not have passed away as early as he did. 

For Colton, although he tried college, his mark on the world was in the trades. He could do anything from plumbing to electrical to finishing to building large structures. More importantly, he had a gift of relations with people. He was honest, hard-working, and relatable, and people trusted him.

In honor of Colton Frahm, this scholarship aims to empower individuals to consider and enter the trades, jumpstarting their own careers and, hopefully in the future, enabling them to become small business owners of their own trade companies.

Any high school senior or current trade school student who is a resident of Nebraska may apply for this scholarship opportunity, but applicants from Hemingford or Western Nebraska are preferred.

To apply, tell us about yourself and your career goals, including which trade you plan to pursue, what steps you will take to achieve success and what traits you possess that will empower you in that trade.
