Money for Trade School

Real scholarships for the trades — national awards anyone can apply for, plus state-specific electric co-op, union, and school money most people never find. Pick your path, pick your state, and see what you qualify for. No logins, no catch.

1
Pick your path
Start with General, or choose your trade for targeted awards.
2
Pick your state
National scholarships show for every state. State-specific ones layer on top.
Always verify before you apply. Scholarship deadlines, amounts, and eligibility change every year, and new ones open all the time. Treat this as your starting map — then confirm the current details on each scholarship's own page before applying. Found one we're missing or one that's out of date? Email ustraderoute@gmail.com and we'll fix it. This list is built and checked by a working journeyman lineman, not a content farm.
