The Roofing Alliance announces the opening of the Melvin Kruger Scholarship Program for the 2026-27 academic year. The deadline for funding applications is Jan. 30, 2026.

The Roofing Alliance Melvin Kruger Scholarship Program offers two scholarship opportunities.  All categories are open to employees of roofing industry companies, their spouses, and their dependent children, as well as construction management students enrolled at the undergraduate level or students enrolled in CTE programs or schools (regardless of industry affiliation).  Applicants may apply for one of the following scholarship categories:

  • The Accredited University Scholarship assists individuals seeking to further their education. Priority will be given to individuals pursuing careers in the roofing or building construction industries (which include architecture; civil, mechanical, or structural engineering; construction management; or occupational health and safety). The scholarship award is $5,000 each and is renewable each year.
  • The Accredited CTE Scholarship assists those who are seeking a professional career inside the roofing industry including but not limited to those seeking to be roof system and sheet metal installers/fabricators, crane and equipment operators, foremen and superintendents, warehouse and inventory specialists and other roofing trade specialties.  The scholarship award is $2,000 each and not renewable but recipients may reapply each year they meet eligibility requirements.

Scholarship applicants are initially screened by Scholarship America.  Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability or national origin.

Visit Melvin Kruger Scholarship Program - Scholarship America to complete the online application by 3 p.m. CST on Jan. 30, 2026.
