At Home In Berks Fall 2021 - 42

The building industry plays a critical role on the economy
and the PBA created a program specifically to award
students in the building industry with scholarships and
that is called the Pennsylvania Foundation for Housing and
they can always use your help. Find out how you may help
at Support - The Pennsylvania Foundation for Housing, Inc.
(pafoundationforhousing.org).
The HBA Board of Directors felt it was just as important
to help with the workforce shortage by creating a
scholarship program which helps those students interested
in furthering their education in the building industry. The
Builders Education Scholarship Foundation was created
in 2016 and awarded their first scholarships in 2018 and
continue to award students each year. Sometimes a student
can receive matched funding from both foundations.
Currently we award two to three students per year who
wish to continue their education to a two-year accredited
college or university. Applications are taken and due in
March of each year and then reviewed by our Education
Committee and students who are awarded the scholarship
receive $2,000 for the two-year term which is spread over
the two years in the amount of $500 per semester as long as
they send proof of enrollment and grades.
It is important to keep this program going and support
our trade students and our industry. We can always use
your support in funding the program so we can continue to
help further educate the students in the trades and help to
minimize the building industries' workforce shortage.
