Request for Scholarship Application

I am interested in the Sheet Metal Workers’ Scholarship Programs.

I understand that the Scholarship Programs are for SMART Members of the former SMWIA local Unions and their dependents.

I understand that awards are for high school seniors and college students and are only for full-time undergraduate programs at accredited colleges and universities.

THIS IS NOT THE APPLICATION. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR AN APPLICATION! All fields must be completed.

PLEASE NOTE: The Scholarship Contest for the 2026/2027 academic year has concluded. We invite you to return and submit your request anytime beginning September 1, 2026, and no later than February 15, 2027, for the next scholarship contest for academic year 2027/2028.
