About this scholarship
The Connex Foundation Scholarship Program provides awards of up to $5,000 to United States and Canadian students preparing for careers in licensed skilled trades, construction, or facility management. The 2027 application opens August 29, 2026 and closes February 15, 2027 at 11:59 p.m. Central Time. Eligible study can include electrical work, plumbing, construction welding, HVAC/R, construction disciplines, and facility management. The program is intentionally open to several stages of education and career development, including high school students, college-level students, career-transitioning adults, adult re-entry students, and veterans. Applicants submit through the direct SurveyMonkey Apply page and should provide accurate academic, training, career, and supporting information requested in the form. Scholarship reviewers see identifying information other than hidden contact details, and award decisions are communicated after May 15, 2027. Funds are not paid to the recipient: after the required award agreement and verification documents are complete, the Foundation sends the scholarship to the school’s financial-aid or scholarship office for eligible educational expenses such as tuition, room and board, books, and fees. Awards apply to the enrolled term and cannot be deferred when the student is already fully funded.
