LRBA Member Child Scholarship

ELIGIBILITY:

• You are eligible to apply if you are a child of a parent who is member in good standing of Lake Region Builders Association.  The parent must be the member of record (company representative) on the LRBA membership.  Children of employees of companies who are LRBA members (not the member of record on membership) are not eligible.

GUIDELINES:

• Annual scholarships awards vary in amount based on funds available.
