TouchUpDirect $1,000 Scholarship Reward for Vocational School Students

Submissions Closed – Recipient Announcement October 30th

Vocation school students are an important part of the workforce, and they often face unique challenges as they work to build their careers. Vocational schools offer specialized training in various fields, including healthcare, construction, and automotive repair. A technical education provides students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen fields, but the cost of tuition can be a barrier to entry for many students.

At TouchUpDirect, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to pursue their dreams, regardless of their financial situation. That’s why we’re proud to offer a scholarship reward for vocational school students. 

We’re giving away one-time financial assistance of $1,000 to one deserving student to help pay for books, tools, tuition, or other educational expenses so they can be a step closer to achieving their goals. 

This program is designed to provide financial assistance to students enrolled in a vocational school program and are committed to building a successful career in their chosen field. This scholarship is meant to support students who are developing technical skills or gaining on-the-job training. It emphasizes the benefits of trade school education, including practical, hands-on training and specialized programs. It supports various trade school programs such as those for electricians, elevator mechanics, construction managers, radiation therapists, millwrights, electrical powerline technicians, computer programmers, boilermakers, diagnostic medical sonographers, dental hygienists, cardiovascular technologists, and many more.
