To receive the scholarship would not only help me financially, but physically. Through the DMACC welding course, I would recieve my welding certificate to be able to weld commercially through DeeZee, Vermeer or another company of that prestige. Through the cost of the course itself and material needed, the cost of the entire class can spread through the thousands. Through the money granted, it will help me pay for the course then with that I can purchase the equipment needed outside of the course to then further my career and my path into welding.
