2026 Trade Scholarships

Mike Rowe Works Foundation

Want A Career That Works?

At Mike Rowe Works, we know the real world doesn’t run on a once-a-year deadline. Training programs start and bills show up year-round. As a result, we've decided to expand our application window and give more hardworking men and women the chance to apply when they’re ready and when funding matters most.

This year, you can apply for a scholarship any time between February 23, 2026 until October 31, 2026. It’s a small change that we hope will make a big difference.

• Requirements: Be enrolled or plan to enroll in an approved trade program.
• Sign the S.W.E.A.T. Pledge.
• Submit a video & references.
• Provide a transcript & tuition information.
