ESAB Group Canada is now taking applications for the 2012-2013 ESAB Scholarship Awards. Scholarships are offered in two areas: post-secondary education and high school.

The ESAB Post-Secondary Scholarship Award was established to support students who choose careers in welding and welding technology. The award is available to applicants who are in a post-secondary education program in the welding or welding technology fields. The $1,000 scholarship is awarded to a single recipient based on academic achievement, a demonstrated interest in welding and welding technology and their potential contributions to the industry in the future. The program was established to support high schools offering courses in welding and welding technology that inspire students to choose a career in the metalworking industry. The top 3 high schools will be awarded ESAB equipment packages in 3 categories: first prize valued at $2,000.00, second prize valued at $800.00, third prize valued at $300.00. Selection is based on the schools demonstrated interest in the welding and welding technologies industries.
