Since 1989, the Builders Association has offered scholarships to encourage students to pursue careers in the residential building industry. The program has awarded over $251,000 to 241 recipients.

The Builders Association has two scholarship funds; the H.F. Tim Hines Scholarship and the Richard Sapp Scholarship. To be eligible for a scholarship, students must be at least a senior in high school and be in good standing with the school. Student must also be a legal resident of the State of Indiana and enrolled in a construction technology or related construction field of study. The deadline to apply for Builders Association scholarships is Monday, March 1, 2010.

Applicants are judged on academic achievement, prior work experience in the area of construction technology, specific career objectives and recommendations of faculty and employers. Financial information is used as secondary criteria in the selection process. Awards are no less than $500 per school year and are non-renewable, although past recipients may reapply each year. Emphasis is placed on candidates interested in working in residential construction in the Central Indiana area.
