SupplyHouse is proud to announce the 10 recipients of the 2025 Track to the Trades Scholarship, created in partnership with Bold.org. Now in its second year, the program continues to expand in both reach and impact, with a 70% increase in applications nationwide as interest in skilled trade careers accelerates.
This year’s applicants represented an incredibly diverse range of backgrounds, stories, and career aspirations. Many expressed a shared passion for building a stable future while contributing to the evolution of the skilled trades workforce. One recipient, Aungelique Simmons of Marietta, GA, captured that spirit in her application essay, writing:
“I want to be part of the new wave of skilled workers who break barriers and show that the trades are for everyone. Because when more people like me step into these spaces, we bring new ideas, perspectives, and possibilities.”
