Love seeing this kind of initiative. The trades offer strong, rewarding career paths, and it’s important that more young women are encouraged to explore them.

Through the Grayson Kennedy Memorial Fund, we’re proud to support Camas and Washougal students pursuing careers in the trades in honor of Grayson. Scholarship applications are open through May 8.

Trade industry leaders are hoping to bring more local young women into their workplaces, which they say are ripe with opportunities for those who like to work with their hands.

Recent data shows that demand for skilled trades is growing three times faster than many professional roles in the U.S., driven by infrastructure, technology, and workforce shortages. That means real opportunity. Strong careers. And a clear path forward without the burden of a four-year degree.

The Grayson Kennedy Memorial Fund Trade School Scholarship is here to support local students who are ready to step into those opportunities. If you’re a Camas or Washougal senior planning a future in the trades, we encourage you to apply. The deadline is just two weeks away on May 8th. Learn more and apply at www.gkmf.org

Reminder that the application for the Grayson Kennedy Memorial Fund trade school scholarship is now open. The $2,500 scholarship supports a local student pursuing a trade program after graduation. Please share this with any student or family who may be interested. The deadline to apply is May 8th. Visit www.gkmf.org
