What You Need to know
about the scholarship
If you or someone you know is interested in a job in the trades — such as plumbing, electrical work or welding — former “Dirty Jobs” host Mike Rowe is offering a scholarship program through his charitable foundation that will offer money for skilled jobs training.
This is the fifth year in a row that the organization has offered its work ethic scholarship, which is taking applications through June 4.
The amount awarded has not been specified in terms of dollars, but the organization refers to it as a “pile of money” and, in a video announcing the 2018 scholarship, Rowe said the foundation has at least $500,000 to give away.
Over the years, Rowe says the scholarship program has given away about $5 million so far.
