One of the most enduring ways that we can all build for the future is to maintain a meaningful Scholarship Program for the sons and daughters of the people in our Industry.

Any group of people who desire to achieve greatness must have a sense of pride that comes from within. We believe that one way to promote this sense of pride is through a scholarship program.

This program is now a reality, and the Awards are determined by the Scholarship Committee.

SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE:
The Executive Committee of the Greater Pennsylvania Regional Council of Carpenters shall also serve as the Scholarship Committee for the William R. Waterkotte Memorial Scholarship and the Central PA Scholarship.

SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS:
The William R. Waterkotte Memorial Scholarship will offer $l,000.00 financial aid for up to four (4) years.
