Starting your welding career can be difficult if you don't have the cash up front. Here at Earlbeck we don't want our students to struggle, which is why we’re always on the lookout for opportunities that help our students succeed without debt hanging over their heads. SparkForce’s scholarship program is a great option for getting your career started WITHOUT breaking the bank!

SparkForce has been invested in giving the next generation of manufacturing professionals a leg up since 1990. They offer scholarships twice a year to students working towards their careers in a variety of manufacturing fields, including welding! These funds are available for those attending classes at a trade school, technical center, community college, or university. Welder training at Earlbeck Technical Center and our classes hosted through our college partners fit these requirements!

If chosen, students will receive up to $2,000 per semester. While this award can be used for tuition, books, and school fees, it's possible that required educational equipment or tools may also be covered!

Eligibility requirements:

  • Students must be enrolled in or entering a certificate or degree program on a full-time basis. (Welder training is one of the approved fields of study, but check out their full list here for more details!)
    ​
  • A minimum GPA of 2.5 is required for trade, community, or technical college applicants, and a 3.0 GPA for university applicants.

If awarded, these scholarship funds can be used towards our comprehensive welding program! Our intermediate and advanced courses have AWS certification testing built into the cost, preparing you for a real job in the field!
APPLY BEFORE MARCH 31, 2026!

​For full details, eligibility requirements, and to apply, please visit the Fabricators and Manufactures Association website! Apply before the March 31st, 2026 deadline and don’t miss this chance to invest in your future!
Your Future in Manufacturing Starts Here!
