A Poke Sallet Foundation scholarship
Blue-Collar Scholars
Helping Jackson County High School seniors attend trade school and build a strong future in the skilled trades.
About the fund
Investing in the people who build Jackson County
The Blue-Collar Scholars Scholarship supports students pursuing careers in the trades, with a focus on certificate and licensing programs. Two-year degree programs are also eligible.
Your contribution eases the financial burden on these students so they can focus on their education and build a strong foundation for their careers. Proceeds from the festival car show go directly to the fund.
Every donation, large or small, is a vote for hard work, craftsmanship and the value of blue-collar professions.
