Scholarships

One of the benefits of SkillsUSA membership is the opportunity to apply for scholarships available only to SkillsUSA members. During the 2022-23 school year, approximately $1 million in annual scholarships were awarded to SkillsUSA high school and college/postsecondary members nationwide to offset the cost of postsecondary education and training. Additionally, multiple scholarships were awarded to offset the cost of attending SkillsUSA events such as the National Leadership & Skills Conference and the Washington Leadership and Training Institute.
