    About this scholarship

    This scholarship program was created to support students who are pursuing vocational training and trade careers. It targets individuals enrolled at the Kankakee Area Career Center alongside their regular high school studies. The initiative aims to address the shortage of skilled workers in hands-on fields such as carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, cosmetology, and photography. By funding education in these practical disciplines, the program encourages the next generation to enter essential technical and manual professions that remain resilient against technological displacement.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
