Duluth Builders Exchange Legacy Fund Grant

The Duluth Builders Exchange Legacy Fund provides scholarships to support students in pursuing careers in the construction industry. Three scholarships are available: one for four-year degree students in fields like engineering and architecture, another for two-year students in trades like carpentry and plumbing, and a third for apprentices needing tools and safety equipment. Award amounts range from $1,000 to $3,000, promoting education and skill development in the local workforce.

The Duluth Builders Exchange offers three scholarships to help students and apprentices pursue careers in the local construction industry. One scholarship is for students at four-year, degree-granting schools in areas of study related to construction, including engineering, architecture and construction management. A second scholarship is for students at two-year schools offering degrees or certifications in construction fields including carpentry, HVAC, landscaping and plumbing. A third scholarship provides up to $500 for tools and safety equipment for those entering the trades through apprenticeships. The Duluth Builders Exchange is a nonprofit association of construction contractors dedicated to providing project leads and information to members as well as to building a skilled local construction workforce.
