SupplyHouse Expands Trade Scholarship Fund to $75,000
Thirty students and emerging professionals will receive $2,500 grants through the third annual Track to the Trades program, which opened for applications on July 10. The initiative aims to lower financial hurdles for those entering HVAC, plumbing, and electrical fields by covering tuition, essential tools, and certification costs.
The SupplyHouse Foundation, established earlier this year to formalize the company’s philanthropic efforts, manages the fund. By increasing the total pool to $75,000, the distributor seeks to address the widening gap between the demand for qualified technicians and the number of available workers. The program remains open to high school seniors, trade school enrollees, and early-career apprentices nationwide until November 10, 2026.
Foundation President and SupplyHouse CMO Kaylin noted that financial obstacles should not dictate a career path in the trades. Selection for the awards will occur through the Bold.org platform, which evaluates candidates based on their commitment to the industry and demonstrated financial need. This sustained investment reflects a two-decade focus on supporting the infrastructure professionals who maintain residential and commercial systems across the country.
