Employees, their spouses and their dependent children who are pursuing post-secondary education are eligible to apply. Scholarship recipients are eligible to receive funding for up to four years of full-time study at any accredited post-secondary institution of the student's choice.

This scholarship is available to assist employees, their spouses and their dependent children who are pursuing an education at a vocational or technical trade school. These scholarships are not renewable. However, students may reapply each year they meet the eligibility requirements.

This scholarship is designed to help those who are seeking a professional career inside the roofing industry including, but not limited to, those seeking to be roof system and sheet metal installers/fabricators, crane and equipment operators, foremen and superintendents, warehouse and inventory specialists, and other roofing trade specialties. This scholarship is not designed for those careers that require a four-year undergraduate degree.
