Description:
Professional contractors and tradespeople are important to The Home Depot. That’s why we are always striving to meet their needs by providing personalized customer service, the lowest possible prices and the right merchandise in our stores.

The Home Depot Trade Scholarship program is our way of helping to meet the needs of the future and current generation of building and construction trade professionals develop their skills for a bright future.

This year’s program will not only support individual students, but also the schools they attend.
Specifically, $1,000 scholarships will be available to 500 trade school students to help them offset the cost of tuition, books and tools for their chosen trade. The schools of the scholarship recipients will receive additional funds for classrooms tools from The Home Depot Foundation through matching gifts of $1,000 for each scholarship awarded to one or more of their students.
