Past Winners

  • “It is especially meaningful to me just knowing the BOLT Women in Construction Scholarship is even available. It reminds me that there IS support, and there are people who believe in us as tradeswomen. As I near the end of my apprenticeship this scholarship is going to be a great financial help to me. I am currently laid off for my last block of in class training, and I am now able to take a few extra days off at the end to study for my red seal exam and prepare to become a Journeyperson. Thank you BOLT, Tridel & Support Ontario Youth (SOY) for selecting me as a recipient of this amazing scholarship and the continued support you bring to women in the trades.”
