About AWC Scholarships
At the Association of Women Contractors, we believe that our future women business owners start out in the industry in the field, in trades and managing projects. With the mission to drive equity in the construction industry, each year we offer financial support in the form of scholarships to female students and apprentices who are pursuing careers in the construction industry.
