First Round of Recipients Awarded for the 2023 #MasteroftheTrade Scholarship
Fieldpiece Instruments has awarded a total of $17,500 in grants to seven deserving students in the first round of its second annual #MasteroftheTrade scholarship program. An additional $10,000 will be distributed to the six gold, silver and bronze medal-winning high school and college/postsecondary students that top the leader-board rankings of the National Leadership & Skills Conference in June.
The scholarship, administered through SkillsUSA, aims to close the talent gap in the U.S. labor market for the heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration trades by allocating funds to industry up-and-comers to use for college tuition fees or postsecondary HVACR technology program costs.
