ABC's Construction Education Foundation of Delaware (CEFD) has announced the beginning of the 2013 scholarship application process. Applications have been mailed and the application is also available on the ABC Delaware website.

"The scholarship is presented annually to a graduating vo-tech student who is a member of the ABC Student Chapter in his/her school or a dependent of an ABC Delaware member company employee who is entering a postsecondary institution studing in a construction-relation field," said ABC Delaware Chairman Joe Moretto. "The Careers in Construction Committee has worked hard on this scholarship program for the past two years. As the studies have shown, the average age of a tradesperson is increasing, and we need to support students who are pursuing a construction-related career. It's the future of our industry!"

To be considered for a scholarship, the candidate must submit the following: 

• Completed application by 4/1/13 (signed by company sponsor and the high school principal)
• Letter of acceptance from postsecondary institution
• High school transcript
• Resume and/or portfolio

Final candidates will be interviewed by representatives of the Scholarship Committee and the scholarship will be presented on May 2 at the Student Awards & ABC STEP Awards dinner at Deerfield Golf Club in Newark.
