Through its "Foundations for Tomorrow: Building Dreams" program, the Hawaii Building Industry Foundation funds students headed into construction-related fields such as architecture, carpentry, civil and electrical engineering, HVAC, and welding at Hawaii colleges, community colleges, and trade programs. High school seniors can apply directly alongside current college and trade-program students. The application asks about career goals, work history in the trades, and includes a short essay on overcoming a challenge.
