The Contractors Association of Will and Grundy Counties (CAWGC) announces its Annual Scholarship Program. Since the program's inception in 1996, the association has awarded almost $130,000 to deserving scholars who will be pursuing degrees in the construction field.

Applicants must be:

• the son or daughter of an owner;
• the son or daughter of a full-time employee of a CAWGC member company; or
• the son or daughter of a Will and Grundy union building tradesman.

The applicant also must be attending college full-time in the fall of 2020 or a present full-time college student who is pursuing an undergraduate degree.

A construction-related major and a "C or better" average also is required.

The application deadline is March 13, 2020. An interview will be required for all first-time finalists. Recipients will be announced in April.

Scholarship requirements along with the application are available on the association's website at CAWGC.org.
