Weld Our Soul Scholarship
Many kids don’t achieve the highest grades or are otherwise underprivileged and challenged when pursuing higher education.
Kevin was a beloved son who found his passion in welding when he participated in a career training education (CTE) program the summer before he started high school. He was so proud of himself when he brought home the first project he created. The light that sparked his soul was burning so bright when he was welding. In 2022, a week before Kevin was to start his senior year, tragedy struck, and Kevin’s life was cut short.
This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of Kevin by supporting students who share his passion for welding.
Any high school or trade school student who wants to pursue a career in welding may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
