The Upstate Workforce Futures Corporation will award a minimum of two (2) $750.00 scholarships for the 2022 school year to an interested senior who will attend college in a manufacturing, construction or technology field (student may begin in the summer or fall of 2022).   Last year, the Upstate Workforce Futures Corporation approved three $500.00 scholarships to students.  The number of 2022 scholarship awards will depend on available funds but a minimum of (2) two $750.00 scholarships will be awarded.  These funds may be used for gas, books, tuition, clothing, etc.  The check is made out to the student!  Our hope is not only to encourage students to attend an institution of higher learning, but also to interest individuals in the fields of advanced manufacturing, skilled construction trades, and technology which are in high demand in the Upstate of South Carolina. Students must earn at least a B average during their senior year of high school. The award will be released to the student once they complete one month of their first semester at the higher learning institution of their choice.
