SupplyHouse Expands Skilled Trades Scholarships to $75,000
SupplyHouse has increased its annual Track to the Trades scholarship program to $75,000, offering 30 awards of $2,500 each to students pursuing careers in skilled trades.
SupplyHouse, an online distributor of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical supplies, has launched the third annual iteration of its Track to the Trades Scholarship program. The program's total scholarship pool has grown to $75,000 for 2026, with 30 individual awards of $2,500 available. Applications opened on July 10, 2026, and will close on November 10, 2026, through the program's partner Bold.org. Eligibility extends to trade school students, high school seniors entering the trades, apprentices, and early-career tradespeople nationwide. The scholarships are funded by SupplyHouse and administered by the SupplyHouse Foundation, established in 2026 to support the next generation of skilled trades professionals. "SupplyHouse was built by and for the trades. The Foundation is how we put that commitment into action, and Track to the Trades is the clearest expression of it," stated Kaylin, Foundation President and SupplyHouse CMO. "Financial barriers should never be what stops someone from pursuing a trades career, and we're proud to grow this program in Year 3 to reach even more students." The initiative aims to alleviate financial obstacles for students, covering costs such as tuition, tools, certifications, and training. Recipients are selected based on their commitment to a trades career and demonstrated financial need. The program's expansion reflects SupplyHouse's assessment of the program's success and its ongoing belief in the critical need for investment in the skilled trades industry. The company sees this educational funding as a contribution to the long-term health of an industry it has served for over two decades, especially given the persistent demand for qualified tradespeople.
