FOND DU LAC – Moraine Park Technical College recently announced that 50 construction and industrial trade apprentices received the 2024 Tools of the Trade scholarships from Ascendium. Each apprentice received $2,000 to use toward the purchase of equipment, tools and clothing, tuition and more.
Apprenticeships are training programs that provide learners with on-the-job experience and classroom instruction, which is paired with classroom instruction – allowing individuals to earn while they learn.
“Ascendium’s long-time support of Moraine Park Technical College and its students has significantly helped to ensure educational success,” Bonnie Baerwald, president of Moraine Park Technical College, said. “Their support through Tools of the Trade scholarship, as well as other areas, have helped our students focus on completing their education and securing jobs throughout our district.”
This year, Ascendium awarded 800 scholarships after receiving a record number of applications.
