Dear Bay Area Manufacturing Students,

AMBayArea is working with the Bay Area Community Colleges (BACC) to offer up to eight $500 scholarships to community college students taking classes towards a career in the manufacturing skilled trades.

If interested, please apply HERE. - Applications are due Dec 10, 2024 by 11:59 pm. Winners will be announced in January.

ELIGIBILITY:

- Enrolled in one of the 28 Bay Area Community Colleges for Spring
- Studying for a career in one of the manufacturing skilled trades (CAD, electronics, industrial maintenance, machining, process technology, quality control, welding, etc.)

NOTE: While we choose the awardees based on their commitment to manufacturing and performance in school, and don't ask questions about financial need, we would like to ask that if you do NOT need the funding you refrain from applying. There are a number of people who may need these funds to help pay for essentials, and we want to assist them in getting their education. Thanks!
