Receiving a WTBA of Tomorrow Scholarship can legitimately change a young person’s life, relieving a ton of financial pressure as they complete their degree.

The next batch of potentially life changing awards is open to applicants NOW.

WTBA will award two $5,000 Engineering scholarships for students attending four-year schools and two $3,000 Engineering Tech scholarships for those enrolled in technical colleges and trade schools.

Applicants must submit two letters of recommendation, their latest school transcript, and a one-page cover letter detailing why they deserve a WTBA scholarship.

A new landing page at scholarships.wtba.org launched this year requires applicants to create a login and submit all documents through the portal. This allows students to complete their application on-demand and piece by piece instead of all at once.

Applications close Friday, Nov. 13, 2026. The WTBA of Tomorrow council will then review and select recipients. Winners will be notified in December and celebrated at the annual WTBA/WisDOT Contractor-Engineer Conference in January.

Good luck!
