The Commercial Roofing Contractors of Southeastern Michigan, through the Southeastern Michigan Roofing Contractors Association (SMRCA), along with the Roofers Union Local #149, annually award college scholarships to dependents of employees of member roofing contractors.
Applicants were asked to submit an essay addressing one or more of the following topics: Roofing Technology, Roofing Safety, Roofing Impact or Roofing Ethics to the Joint Union/Contractor Scholarship Committee. Winners receive scholarships for $1000, contributed by the SMRCA, Roofers Union Local #149 and the Contractor Employer.
The Scholarship Grant Program exemplifies the long-standing commitment of the SMRCA, Roofers Union Local #149, and their member contractors to invest in education and supporting the families of those working within the roofing industry.
