ESAB launches Future Fabricators program with scholarships
- January 25, 2024
- News Release
- Arc Welding
ESAB has launched its Future Fabricators program with the announcement of 12 scholarships in the amount of $5,000 each that are awarded through the American Welding Society (AWS) Foundation. The program was developed for aspiring welders and fabricators to provide tools, equipment, scholarships, training, and educational materials to technical and trade education programs from high schools to four-year welding engineering programs across North America.
The application deadline for 2024 National AWS Foundation scholarships is March 1. Scholarship applications are reviewed by the AWS Foundation’s Education Scholarship Committee, and the selections will be made and announced in May.
The $5,000 scholarships are made possible by a limited endowment that ESAB established in 2022 in partnership with the AWS Foundation. The scholarships support students working toward welding certifications and associate and baccalaureate welding degrees.
“The AWS scholarships and ESAB’s Future Fabricators program help the next generation of fabricators move into an array of careers across a wide range of industries,” said Eleonor Lukens, president, Americas, ESAB Corp. “AWS predicts a shortage of 360,000 new welding professionals by 2027. This alarming statistic necessitates a greater commitment to technical education by industry, institutions, and organizations. The Future Fabricators program demonstrates our commitment to addressing this issue by establishing a platform that showcases and supports the next generation of skilled trade professionals.”
