Local trade scholarship match opportunity

Greensburg, IN — Linemen, electricians, carpenters, mechanics, hairstylists: As the need for skilled workers in trades like these continues to grow, the Decatur County Community Foundation has been given the challenge to help grow along with it.

Three years ago, an anonymous donor started a scholarship at the Decatur County Community Foundation to support seniors interested in a trades field. Last year that scholarship assisted three local students. In an effort to grow the scholarship and help more students, the anonymous donor has offered a match opportunity for any gift made to the Trades Scholarship before December 31st. He’ll be adding an extra 50 cents for every dollar donated, up to $4,000.
