“Mr.Gosset’
The selection committee considers the application, financial need, funding available, and the scholarship program’s primary element of “learning and practicing a skilled trade as a career objective” when making its decisions. A skilled trade is recognized as a learned skill or occupation that generally requires physical work. Examples related to the building and construction trades would include, but not be limited to: Electricians, Masons, Carpenters, Plumbers, Welders, HVAC Technicians, Arborists, etc.
The RC Atkins/Handyman Matters Memorial Scholarship Foundation wishes Mr. Gossett all the best for success as he pursue his educational and career objectives. More information about scholarships and application information can be found at www.handymanmatters.com/
