The Castle Trade Scholarship Program is for individuals pursuing skilled trades in Canada. Students of any age are eligible to apply for a Castle Trade Scholarship of $2,500 for their studies in an eligible skilled trade program at a recognized Canadian Trade College.
We rely on skilled trades to build and maintain the infrastructure of our cities and towns, yet we are challenged by not having enough talented tradespeople to meet the demands fueled by our growth. The goal at Castle is to invest in the future of the skilled trades workforce, help aspiring tradespeople achieve their goals, and contribute to the overall growth, development, and sustainability of communities across the country.
The Castle Trade Scholarship Program will be recognizing skilled trade students who demonstrate strong work ethics and character, academic and/or professional ambition, diligence, skillfulness, and achievement, as well as passion to inspire positive change in their community.
