The Women in Construction grants are offered to female apprentices in the construction skilled trades. Successful recipients receive $1,000 through the BOLT Charitable Foundation, and are connected to a female mentor from their own or similar trade through OBCT Trades Women to help provide additional career advice and support.
Anyone who meets the eligibility criteria can apply for the scholarship at any time. Multiple scholarships are awarded throughout the year and can be applied to the cost of workwear, tools, in-class training, or living costs.
