Start Building Your Future
Each year, students pursuing education at colleges and trade schools are awarded grants and scholarships funded by the Home Builders Care Foundation. Since beginning our programs in the 1990s, we have distributed over $72,000 in high school scholarships and have allocated a total of $160,000 to second-year technical school students.
High School Scholarships
We award several $2,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors living in Lincoln, Minnehaha, McCook, or Turner County. To be eligible, students must be pursuing a major in a building industry-related field at a college or technical institute.
