For Fall 2024, there are seven (7) $500 scholarships available to be used towards tools, equipment, clothing or training. Applicants must aspire to a career in residential construction and work for a residential construction-related company in New York State.
*For the first 30 days of availability, there is one scholarship available per NYS region as identified in the NYSBA REF Bylaws. After such time, scholarships will be considered regardless of region.
