American Welding Society Scholarship
Do you enjoy working with hot metal? You can get a scholarship. The American Welding Society offers a scholarship to one eligible student per year. That means tuition, books, and any other school-related needs are covered each year, but you need to reapply each year to get the scholarship more than once. To be eligible for this crazy college scholarship the student needs to be enrolled in a welding program, demonstrate financial need, exhibit a passion for welding based on a personal statement, and a brief biography of your life as a young welder. You can’t pull a fast one with this scholarship and get the American Welding Society to pay for any college degree – if you change your course of study at all during your college career, they will pull your funds and leave you to fend for yourself during your non-welding activities. You also need to be going to a school that has a strong welding program in order to get this scholarship – they want to fund future champions of the welding world and you can’t just go anywhere. While they give out multiple scholarships per year based on the quality of the applicants, we suggest that you, as with any scholarship, should give the application 110% and make it terrific. It’s time for you tilt down your mask, light up your blowtorch, and make something beautiful.
