Scholarships: 

The Foundation manages a scholarship fund.  These are advertised annually in High Schools throughout the region. Scholarship monies from these funds are given to a South Central PA High School Seniors who are accepted in to a technical or trade curriculum. These are given for one-year only in the freshmen year of college.
  1. Carl Winters, Jr. Memorial Scholarship - Carl was a Tool and Die maker by trade for over 50 years he spent his “retirement years” at the Association and devoting spreading his passion to school students interested in a career in the trades.

The Manufacturers' Association started this program to give students the ability to explore a career in manufacturing before entering the workforce after graduation. Pre-Apprenticeships are designed for high school seniors enrolled at partner schools who are considering pursuit of an Apprenticeship in a chosen trade after graduation!

Help us support the Pre-Apprenticeship Program - we can teach high school students how to make it BIG in a manufacturing career!!
