For our 2008 scholarships, we had 11 applicants from surrounding cities. The following three students have each received $1000 scholarships:
| Ryan Doble, Rochester – University of Minnesota – Twin Cities (Architecture) |
Cory Hanenberger, Byron – Rochester Community & Technical College (Building Utilities Mechanic) |
Sandro Krkljes, Winona – Winona State University (Engineering) |
For more information, see the May 2008 Press Release.
We offer this every year to graduating high school students going forth into the construction industry with a GPA of 2.5 or better.
Speak to Schools
Another way students are exposed to the building trades is to have two of our members as guests in their classroom. A builder and an associate member bring information as well as a video to be able to communicate with the students about the many careers available in the construction industry.
If you would like to have us come to your school, please contact Tony at the Office (507-282-7698) or TLehrman@RochesterAreaBuilders.com
Job Shadowing
Since 2001, Rochester Area Builders, Inc. has coordinated a Friday morning in May for area high school students to shadow a building professional.
