St. Clair County students who are interested in studying the building trades are invited to apply for a scholarship from the Alabama Home Builders Foundation. The deadline for submitting an application is March 15.

The AHB Foundation, an arm of the Home Builders Association of Alabama, awards scholarships to students who desire to study the building trades at any two-year, four-year or technical school in Alabama. Trades include brick masonry, carpentry, roofing, electrical technology, and HVAC.

To apply for a scholarship, a student must be an Alabama resident who is pursuing a construction-related degree. The foundation will accept applications from high school students, as well as students attending accredited community or junior colleges, technical or trade schools, and four-year universities in Alabama. The purpose of the scholarship program is to enlist Alabama’s top students into the home building and remodeling industries.

Scholarship applications may be downloaded from the Foundation website (www.ahbfoundation.org), or you may call the Home Builders Association of Alabama at 1-800-745-4222 to request an application.
