In recent years, construction-related industries have had very few individuals apply for educational assistance, whose intent was to pursue advanced training through a trade or technical school.
The Tennessee Housing Association (THA) values these gifted students and appreciates their specific talents and ambitions.
Currently, there are an estimated 650,000 construction-related jobs available across the nation. The factory-built housing industry is just one of many construction-related businesses who are successful due to specialized artisans.
Scholarship applicants MUST be associated with the manufactured or modular housing construction industry in some way, to be considered.
For example:
In order for a student to be eligible to receive one of the stated financial awards from the Stan & Thelma Plumlee Scholarship fund, the following criteria must be followed:
