ESAB Canada Launches Education Awards

ESAB Canada has announced the development of two annual education awards starting this year. The recipients will be formally recognized at the Canadian Welding Association Conference in September.

The ESAB Post-Secondary Scholarship Award is a one-time award of $1,000 that will be given to a student who chooses a career in welding and welding technology, achieved through postsecondary education, and demonstrates the potential to produce outstanding contributions to the field in the future.

Selection will be based on academic achievement and a demonstrated interest in welding and welding technology. Candidates must be nominated by their instructor via a one-page letter describing the achievements of the student and why that student is a deserving candidate for the award.

The ESAB High School Excellence Award will be awards of welding equipment to three welding schools.

The company established this award to further support students who choose a career in welding and the schools that help them achieve their goals by offering welding courses as part of their curriculum. Selection will be based on a demonstrated interest in welding and welding technology.

High school instructors may nominate their school via a one-page letter describing their programs, the achievements of their students, and why they are a deserving candidate for the award.
